I have coilovers...

Do I move the spring perch (the purple collar in the pic) up or down to RAISE UP the car.

Need to raise up the car heaps to get it up on ramps.

Thanks in advance sorry for the nube question.

Up

p.s, can you drive the car up onto a block of wood or a paver or something to get another inch in height? easier than raising the suspension....

Just take the collar off. Saves weight :wink:

I'm surprised you painted your calipers. I thought that'd add weight as well.

My trolley jack doesn't fit under the car, so what I do is use the scissor jack to lift it a bit, then wheel the trolley jack in and go from there. Sure beats raising the suspension each time.

I was thinking the exact same thing

If someone else is around I just get them to lift the car up a little. There's enough play in my suspension to then get my smaller trolley jack under it.
