Re: Tein RA - adjusting ride height
ok, looks like you cant adjust preload independantly of height on these coilovers, you can only adjust height, the collar that the helper spring sits on is adjustable, spinning it down will cause you to lower ride, spinning it up will raise your ride height. make sure to turn the first perch then the second one on to it so they lock against each other.

i would loosen the lower collar, then turn the other collar making it lower, then just tighten the lower collar to the higher one? and this would only adjust my ride height, not anything else? thanks for the help guys |

Re: Tein RA - adjusting ride height
Learn about Tein here:
TEIN USA | PRODUCTS The RA was discontinued a while back. I believe the monoflex replaced it. I personally never liked the RA's since they had no low speed dampening which made them very rough around the city. But I guess that's the price you pay for a more track oriented damper. |

On those teins, in order for you to adjust ride height you adjust the spring perch, therefore affects shock travel/stroke, So with these teins, the lower you go the less dampening you get. = Shit, basically. Sorry. And the Cusco below clearly shows the perch on the lower shock body which alters the height without affecting the spring, spring rate and shock travel. ![]() Damn blinx
