Title: meister r coilovers
Post by: wotugonado on July 3, 2015, 19:35
Ive just bought some meister r coilovers, whilst greasing them up prior to fitting ive moved the spring pre tension collars.
Does any body know what setting they should be set at ?
And what difference does this make to set up ?

I think I remember the BC coilover manual saying that there shouldn't be any preload. So I guess just put the collars up against the springs tight but not so much that the springs compress?

Cheers snazza   s:) :) s:)  
Had a quick look at meister r manual (leaflet) and that says 2mm of pre load   s:? :? s:?  
What difference does it make to the handling ?

Cool. I guess 2mm is pretty much just a slight tighten against the collar. Good stuff!
