[QUOTE="cunning plan, post: 545916, member: 4090"] After initially reading this thread and understanding the information, I then found my brand-new Empi Coil-overs on the shelf: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/v8_nate/For%20Sale/Coilovers%201.jpg~original[/img] I played with them for a couple of minutes out of interest, then remembered Geeze's reply: This is probably the best post in the entire thread to help you understand all of the different elements within the Coilover shock absorber and what impact each of them has on the ride height and quality. However, as highlighted in bold: The Empi Coil-Over is already at the top of its travel and cannot be lowered any further. If the preload / making the spring 'tighter' does not alter the spring rate, meaning, it does not alter the ride quality and the Empi spring can only be compressed further, not 'lowered', what exactly does the Empi spring adjuster do? :? :?: (Gaz coil-overs are the ones to have, no change there, just a question for my own interest).
