Default How to install/setup suspension?

Hi there,

by tomorrow i should have purchased successfully some second hand fully adjustable coilovers with adjustable top mounts.

I have only changed suspension once on the landy and they was one of the easiest jobs ive done.

However, as this is going to be on the scoob, i want it done for max track performance and stability.

Im sure getting them on will be no problem. But how do i go about setting up the ride height, bump stiffness, camber angle etc?

Can anyone offer some tips of what i should do before i fit them to the car?

Im thinking, make sure the shocks are the same un-compressed length. And set any other settings to the middle.

I have no idea how much a drop the suspension is going to cause.

So yeah, how should i go about doing this?

Sorry just seen this !

Tein's advice is :-
13.6" from wheel arch to centre of hub (front)
13.4" from wheel arch to centre of hub (rear)

That's for my New-age STI.... all I could find !

HTH

P.S. Try Tein UK site for classic fitting instructions
