Default question to all your with coilovers

i had tein flex and adjusting height with the bottom perch was no issue. my new suspension is the buddy club n+ and using the bottom perch IS AN ISSUE. there's a knob if you screw the 'cup' up high enough which gets in the way of the control arm.

also, is there an easy way to adjust height without messing with the spring preload? i'm pretty much worn out from jacking the car up, taking the wheel off, unscrewing, adjust...and going back and forth for all 4 corners. and yes i did measure before i installed them, but i guess my measurements were a little off. any input would be great. thanks

DONT TOUCH THE SPRING PRE LOADS...unless you know what your doing

I have heard issues with some BC setups that they will hit the lower control arm. How much lower are you than stock? I assume your running 1.5'' or more lower.

too late on the pre loads. i already touched two of them because i couldn't get the height to settle in evenly. i'm at least 2" lowers than stock. im seriously tucked in the front (which im trying to raise back up hence looking for an easier method) slightly tucked in the rear.

their has to be an easy way to do it, but i would just take them off and adjust them on the floor.

see the thing is, if you adjust them on the car its never going to be 100% even because the shaft will turn. but then again, you want the driver side a few hairs higher than the passenger side because you have to factor in the drivers weight.
