Default Re: Front coilover adjustment question...

Thanks for the responses!

This is a callaway coilover setup. It is basically the same thing as the DRM kit. It is a bilstein fx3 shock with a groove cut in it. A threaded sleeve that slips over the shock body and a spring seat collar that screws onto the sleeve. It has a Hyperco spring that sits on the collar. The hat is slighty different in size and shape and color, but it does the same function as the DRM unit.

The only part I am concerned about is when I am trying to adjust the spring seat collar up. As soon as there is some pressure from the spring seat collar compressing the spring the whole spring/collar/hat/center shock shaft starts to move. I can keep adjusting the spring seat collar with my spanner wrench as long as I am holding the center threaded sleave with some type of wrench. I am assuming that this action is compressing the spring against the hat and causing everything to stay together. Is there any concern with all of this including the center shock rod shaft turning while I am adjusting the ride height?
