Default Yellow speed coils

Can someone please help tell me how to adjust the load and preload of my coils before I install them in my car. Any tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated too. Thanks

just make sure you tighten everything by hand, use a jack to lift up the bottom of the joint on the LCA's so it lines up with the bottom of the car, then tighten the bolts to spec.

correct me if i'm wrong

I'm still learning too. My passenger front is bottoming out if I go over a bump straight. While going at an angle, it doesn't clunk.

Here's a video, skip to the end.
