Okay, so I have received some brand new Tein SS coilovers for my S14 and will be getting them in in a few days. I'm pretty good around the car, did the SR wiring and swap all myself; however, I'm just a little concerned on any prep work prior to putting the coilovers on the car??? Any adjustments that I need to do? I feel pretty confident about changing everything out, but I just dont want to put it all in, see that it is too low, take it off, adjust, put in back, it's to high, take it off, blah blah blah blah blah. Ya know? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks peeps.

~>BTW Dave, if you read this, after the holidays I'm coming by to get those parts ordered. I've acquired a z32 MAF and some 550 injectors, so just gotta get the others. We'll talk about specifics again. Thanks again sir.

you'll have to do that.
adjust a bit, put it on, check ride height.

adjust it if necessary.
dont need to take it completely off, keep the top mounts bolted on and just adjust the bottom brackets.

andd.. moved to suspension.

Sean the only thing that you will have to take of is the wheel, the adjusting is pretty easy just a little time consuming. Plus we will have mine to use a base.

the only thing you have to undo is the ring that keeps the ride height set and turn them......atleast thats how it is on my megans

take wheel off, remove coilovers, put coilovers on. make the spring snuggy snug and not loose with teh preload screw.

make the front coilovers the same ride height and preload while they are off the car. stick them on. adjust from there. hint you can twist the whole shock to adjust ride height without removing anything :)
