So I changed my preload when initially trying to figure out how to lower my coilovers and I have no idea how to get it back to original setting. I've been told by a friend to tighten the spring just until you can't move it up and down but that seems to leave it way too loose. Plus I think at this "preload" my ride height is being affected as a result of the spring not being compressed tightly enough. Does anyone have a rough estimate (eg. in terms revolutions from when you can just move the spring up and down) of how to get the coilovers back to stock spring rate? Is there a manual or official document that zeal has out there that can help? (endless usa is currently down but i don't remember their site being that helpful).

 

I don't preload my springs. Preloading changes the spring rate. I do the same as your friend. I tighten it til there is no play in the spring. Height adjustment is independant of spring preload.

what exactly do you mean by play? is there an exact way to tell.
