gc coilover questions - Honda Prelude Forum

xratedSH · 01-16-2003, 02:28 AM

finally got a spanner wrench..

I tried to adjust it by hand last week, the sucker will not budge..

will the wrench allow me to adjust it easily? even with the tension from the spring? well, either way I'll give it a shot tomorrow..

still dont know what stock height is.. but I'll just raise it enough, so it looks ok, but I can clear my driveway without scraping all the time.. oh, I have GC Coilovers on Koni Yellows.. the front perch looks like it's at the highest setting, haven't checked out the rears, but the coilover is like 2-3 threads away from the top in the rear..

The coilovers didn't come with an adjustment wrench?

Hmm it should unless you bought one of those ghetto ones, where you need to add your own strut 2 it

I have gc's on tokico shocks, Who did the installation? If i adjust mine to a little over half way, the car will be around stiock height. How low is your car currently? about how much wheel gap do you have?

being 2-3 threads away from the top does not sound right

i bought a used car that already had this stuff so I dont know if it originally had a wrench or what..
GC/Koni Yellow

I have maybe 1 finger on both front and rear..
-the fronts are on the top perch on the shock, and close to halfway on the threads

-the rears I dont know what perch, but yes it is awfully close to the top of the threads... So I'm guessing(or hoping) it shouldn't be on the highest perch.

It'd suck if you found out that the previous owner cut some of the coils.

Maybe you have the "show springs"??? Call GC if you are confused. 530.677.8600
