    AVO Coilover Adjustment Problem

    Right, The avo's are on... and was set pretty low... now we have tried to make them higher (winding the platform upwards) and they havent done anything... they are staying at the same height. The platform is near the top of the thread and right height is slammed.

    What on earth have I done wrong???

    surely winding the platform up will make it lower? winding down makes the spring longer and hence more height to the car?

    What length springs did they supply you with?

    Do you have to lower/higher both sides equally?

    Only thing is that with the polybushes the ARB is VERY tight. Im wondering if this is restricting it?



    The springs were standard size I think.
