How to raise rear height with King/Koni combo

Postby JoshB » Tue May 23, 2006 4:48 pm

I fitted the standard King/Koni combo a year or so ago - went for middle perch at front and lowest perch at rear as seemed to be the consensus at the time

now after settling in, the car seems a little dropped in the rear compared with the front and I want to raise the rear perch to level the car out again

Is this as easy as jacking the car, removing the wheel, using a spring compressor to remove the pressure on the spring base and perch circlip, pulling the circlip out and placing at the new height, then putting everthing back?

Sounds too simple, but I sure hope that is all that is needed - I can do it myself then and save some dollars :mrgreen:
