Coilover height adjustment Tutorial+Tips MAX suspension 240sx
In the process of installing the 6kg/mm springs in the rear of my s13 240sx I decided to make a vid of some tips and tricks of measuring. The methods for measuring your coils can also be used when setting ride height for the first time and can help you keep each coil at identical height as the adjacent one. (Unless your car is corner balanced, in which case each coil would be adjusted differently to distribute the weight evenly)

HSD Coilovers - High performance road and track coilover systems.
Available from European Distributors for a wide range of performance cars from www.trackculture.com and www.driftworks.com
The HSD HR coilover is exactly what the performance tuning market has been crying out for. No longer do you have to accept an inferior/compromised product when spending less than £1000 on coilover suspension.
The HSD HR has been specced by HSD Europe, for our roads, and tracks, with the knowledge and experience gained by HSD Europe using the now world famous Driftworks Control System Coilover made by HSD.
HSD Coilovers use a very well respected and proven Monotube damper design combined with high quality hardware. This level of quality and performance is usually found on much more expensive suspension products. This is high end competition winning suspension available direct from the factory at affordable prices.
Offset is Everything at Nisei Showoff
Aggressive wheel fitment and drop seemed to be the theme of The Last Nisei Showoff. Southern Cali's best street cars show that OFFSET is everything.

MX-5 Coilovers fitting video from HSD Part 1
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x572E1jl22M
MX-5 Coilovers are straight forward and easy to fit. We've put together a comprehensive step by step DIY video guide about how to remove, prepare and fit HSD Coilovers to our own member of staff James' personal lightly rusty MX-5!
This is part one of two. In this part we look at removing the coilovers, and how the coil over design improves on anything else in the market.
HSD Coilovers are extremely high quality road and occasional use monotube coilovers able which are available for a wide variety of applications. HSD have been producing high quality monotube dampers for over 25 years and are the factory behind some of big names in after market suspension. HSD is their own brand and we work closely with them to feed back information to make them better than anything else on the market.
How to adjust height on coilover suspension
A super simple easy way to adjust the height of your coilover suspension. This particular suspension is HSD coilovers on a Nissan Silvia s13. However, it should be very similar on all other cars.

KW Coilovers Variant 2 on a BMW E36 M3 | BMW suspension upgrade
http://www.autowerksofamerica.com/ KW Coilovers are becoming a more popular option for BMW and other German car owners. The build quality is good and the construction materials mean that you won't have to worry about rust. They offer products both for street and racing applications.
We're performing a suspension upgrade on an 1997 BMW M3. KW offers four coilover possibilities for this car.
Variant 1 allows you to change the ride height
Variant 2 allows you to change the ride height and the rebound damping
Variant 3 allows you to change the ride height and both the rebound and the compression damping
The club sport package is more aggressive, but can also be used on the street has an additional expansion reservoir. It also comes with adjustable camber plates.
I selected variant 2 to give me some damping adjustability without having to manage the complexity of the additional variable of compression damping.
Here's what's in the box.
The struts have the springs mounted already, you can see the shocks here and the springs were packed well with protective foam that I've already removed.
The toolbox comes with instructions, a spanner wrench, a nice purple knob with the hex key and this pin. The pin is for the variant 3 package, so I don't need it. They've included some stickers as well, but I haven't decided if I'll put them on my car.
For this application swaybar links are included. 5mm Front wheel spacers are recommended but not included. They have to be sourced separately, but we can help you with that.
Here's a closeup of the strut damping. You can't see it, but there's a slight detent feel to the adjustment to help you track how many "clicks" you've gone in either direction.
The knob is also used to tighten the lock screw on the ride height adjusting ring, but the instructions caution you to be careful with the torque.
