So i purchased a set of used Megan Racing Coilovers from a user on this board and i installed them on my S13, i adjusted them all the way to the top (i heard rumor this was 1" above stock?? :? ) anyways it’s no where close to that, it’s still lowered over 2"…

anyone have a rough idea what i’m doing wrong???

this might help, this is with the rear all the way to the top…i might keep it this low but i would like the ability to go higher if i needed too.

also the wheels are 14’s on it wiht 185/70 tires.

i dont see how that can be all the way to the top but anyhow, you can adjust height 2 different ways. the spring perch, which i assume is what you mean, and by spinning the shock, so check that and see how its adjusted,

Due to me purchasing a cheap body kit, any horizontal lines on the car are molded to hold it on.

twisting the strut? sounds like something i’d never think of, out of the three pearches i have the bottom on locked on the bottom of the adjusting range, so should i grab it belown the adjusting range and turn in counterclockwise??

Thanks for the help guys! keep it comming 🙂
