My brain has stopped working... can someone confirm which way I need to wind my coilovers to get them lower? Does the adjuster bit need to go up or down in other words. Thanks

the closer the adjusters are to the bottom of the shock, the lower it will be.

so basically down

Nice one, couldn't work out if it was up so the spring was more compressed or down so it was more... down I'm the first to admit I'm not too bright

Could you overtake on a narrow bridge wacky races style? I think they used some kind of bespoke trellis setup though.



something like that anyway

awesome I was rolling like that for a couple of weeks because I couldn't work out how to build up my coilovers after fitting the 60mm rears. I just pretended I was booting it everywhere. I fooled no one
