Hey everyone
The ZHP is torn apart right now. Trying to install the coilovers in the rear. All I find is PSS10 diys which are slightly different.
I have it installed likenthis, but something seems odd and it doesnt seem like theres much room to leave.for adjusting at the top
Any help would be appreciated greatly!!!!
Thanks

The coilover adjustment goes down....on the spring perch.

See that's what I thought, but then my spring will be upside down, or the letters will be at least.Originally Posted by danewilson77

Maybe it varies brand to brand. To me, it just seems better to have it on the spring perch.

I think your's are correct. Mine are wrong. Every pic I see has them the way you have them installed.
Another pic I found on Google for KW.
I will tell you.....adjustment would be a ton easier the way you have them installed though. Can't use the wrenches down in the spring perch. You have to take the coil out.
Top or bottom.....mechanically probably doesn't matter much

It just looks like that's where people put them. I'm going to look at my instructions.

Well I tried adjusting it when it was above and there was no way of getting the adjusting wrench up there. Also it was quite difficult to align the bottom of the shock w the bracket. I'm stumped.

no dane is right. bilsteins springs go upside down, everyone freaks out when they do it.
EDIT: maybe yours look right. hold on gonna research for u. I coulda sworn my springs were installed with writing upside down.
cant see the logos but the adjustment goes on top for sure.
