Ok, finally got the Tein CS coilovers on this weekend, and I had a question about height adjustment...

I was told that the front height adjustment was 1:1, meaning if I move the spring seat up or down 1" it would raise or lower the car 1" (as an example)...

Also, that the rear height adjustment was 1:2, meaning if I move the spring seat up or down .5", it would raise or lower the car 1" (example)

Is this correct? If not, is there a method to the madness ... so I don't have to keep lifting the car on the jack and experamenting?

i'm not sure how it works with tiens. when i first did my hks, i had to do a little trial and error. i set the hieght at about 1/4 of the way from the lowest it could go (F&R) and adjusted from there; it only took about 3 tries. i just recently redid the hieght and turned them both all the way to the bottom

Anyone else with Tein's have experience with this?

All I'm able to add is that my shop had a no fun trail & error session adjusting ride height with the Tein Flex suspension they installed on my Z...about 5 hours worth best I can recall.

man, thats no good!

Anyone else on here have a Tein setup (or even a CS setup) that has any information?

When I had mine installed, had the height adjusted to Tein's recommendations. Had to raise the front so that I did not scrape my driveway. After a few weeks, the drivers side settled more then the passenger side (most of the time I am the only one in the car). I still have to adjust them to make both sides even. Basicly it is trial and error to get the height right.

the easiest solution is to dump it .... turn them things all the way to the bottom!!!

i have friends that have boards for ramps on thier driveways, so they can get in and out without breaking body kits.

it's a little inconvenient, sure, but well worth it ... it looks hawt
