KJ.....do the KW's have independent ride height adjustment and did you set preload to zero.....basically how'd you default set preload and ride height? Anyone with self-installed coils can chime in.

I got mine today after work, and installed them alone, in my driveway, all hand tools. Its not that bad guys, but does take some time!! I will say everything on the coils seems pretty legit, no reason to question qaulity. Rides awesome, and looks sexy as hell! Pictures tomorrow!!

 

I did my coil over install all hand tools, does help to have another person helping. Not saying it can't be done solo though as mentioned ^.

 

i know it can be done solo. lolz i just want to make sure that everything's alright so yeah...
noob Q. what to do on old spring on rear? like, remove it? or what? lolz

 

saw this... man i want to install mine badly!!!!

Was a late night last night but mine are on

 

right....so what I'm asking is set zero preload to start (raise perch snug to spring w/o compression, then do process above to set initial ride height, then adjust preload to proper weight target (as above), and then adjust ride heights again. Sound about right? Oh and all you eager beavers.....how bout some pics.

 

all hand tools, one person....I forget what car I'm working with. Jaded by a S-tech install on my fiance's MkV GTI......nearly impossible with hand tools. I haven't touched suspension on my tc2, but I'm sure it's not near the nightmare of those Dubs.

 

tC2 is pretty straight forward. We only used hand tools on mine

 

not what I want to hear.....I had to upgrade to a IR 600 lbs/foot impact to take off my crank pulley. Spent a couple hundred bucks on it and haven't gotten to use it since.

 

So use it anyways haha. May as well of you have it. We didn't because his compressor took a dump on him a while back

 

okay so how to adjust the height? lolz ahahaha

 

If its like most you're just going to spin the bottom part where it strut bolts up for the fronts up to go lower down to raise it... for the rears youll have to spin the locking collar that the spring sits on. Make sure you use anti seize on the threads so you wont have a hard time adjusting it down the road.

 

Anyone know the torque specs for our suspension tops?

 

not sure what it says in the KSport or the OEM manual...

but KW says 37 ft/lbs

ur talking about the part the bolts the top perch to the suspension right?

if not and ur talking about the 3 bolts that mount to the car itself...just tighten it until its tight. no torque needed

 

Yeah the top of the suspension. Just wanted to see what the consensus was. I just tightened them up but now I'll go back and give 37 a shot to be safe

 

I didn't see any of that info in the ksport manual. I don't think they supplied it

 

Just follow the TRD install, except you won't need a spring compressor as everything is all put together, well at least for the front setup anyways.

Thanks for the help. And the backs don't have any specific specs for the top? (I might be blind)
