How to Adjust Coilovers on 240sx - Doug Drifts

[@masonb6747]

Very good explanation thank you

[@JoshGrowsHydro]

glad to see a coilover video of someone who knows how to adjust them, too many videos of people adjusting their spring preload instead of doing it correct haha

[@DougDrifts]

+240sxBeater Thanks! And ya there are a lot of confusing videos out there :/

[@rodriguezandres54]

Is it the same for the rear

[@CompressorSurge]

Great video. RIP Scion.

[@DougDrifts]

+CompressorSurge Thank you! And I know. :(

[@CompressorSurge]

I wonder if they plan on keeping the scion models but under the Toyota brand like they do in Japanland

[@DougDrifts]

I hear just the FR-S, iA and iM will be rebranded as Toyotas, everything else will be scratched.

How about the rear coil over? Is the same way as adjusting the the front coil over?

[@Nitterundercove]

Nice video, I’m wondering about my 240sx on the right back tire and panels are so close to each other I can’t tell if it’s my panels are my coils that making my panels and tire touching each other :( don’t like it because I just got a new tires.

To raise the car, how is turning to the right "counter-clockwise?" Wouldn't turning to the left be counter-clockwise?

[@DougDrifts]

Haha, I guess if you're moving your hand its to the left, but I guess I was thinking spinning to the right if it's like a clock.

[@handymaneh]

What would happen if I max out being low??

[@Rainingpenuts]

if the spring is held tightly by the top 2 locks, can you just turn the entire spring with your hands instead using the coilovers wrenches or is that bad?

[@DougDrifts]

I wouldn't say it's bad, but make sure you're rotating the whole thing and not just the spring! The threaded part is what moves in and out of the sleeve, raising the car up and down.

Sir can you help me i did the same procedure i increase the ride height of my car upon turning collar b counter clockwise the whole assembly turn except the coil spring.. Is that ok? Because on your vid i saw that the spring is also turning.. Did i mess up With my preload? By the way my coilovers is yellowspeed thanks in advance

[@DougDrifts]

+joseph civic Hey! The spring not turning is fine, you probably have 0 preload set. As long as the two top collars are against each other, you should be ok! If your spring didn't turn, just double check that there isn't too much play in the spring (meaning you can move it up and down freely with ease.

[@josephcivic6009]

+Doug Drifts +Doug Drifts +Doug Drifts hey thanks for the quick response.. After i adjust the ride height i checked the springs and there is no play meaning i can't moved the springs.. Is that ok if my pre load is set at 0? Thanks man!

[@DougDrifts]

+joseph civic Different manufacturers recommend different preload settings. I'd check with yellowspeed, but I run 0 preload on my PBMs.

[@josephcivic6009]

+Doug Drifts thanks man appreciated so much! I do hope 0 pre-load is the right setting for my yellowspeed!
