Default Coilover shock preload help in Phoenix

Hey guys!

After installing my Tein coilover's on my G35 I started hearing/feeling all sorts of strange noises. A buddy of mine determined it's probably because I haven't preloaded them correctly. If anyone in the Phoenix/Chandler area that's willing to take a look at it with me I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Jack the car up and see if the spring comes unseated when the shock is at full droop. If it does then you will probably need spring tenders to make up the difference or longer springs. That's probably the noise you're hearing.
Did you buy the setup as a complete set with springs? Are you sure you have the correct size spring for the perches? Is this a used setup? If it's new your dealer can help you with the setup.
