Question:

The two rings located in the rear under the actual spring is used to adjust the height of the car? I thought it was the ring on the strut that is used to adjust the height and the two rings under the spring is for preload/compression?

Set it at the height you want, use both of the wrench to tighten the ring.

It shouldn't take that much pressure to lock the ring in place.

Yes, to adjust the rear you would adjust the height of the perch for the spring.

Then adjust the strut height for damping.

If you have any other questions please go ahead and take some pictures and email it to info@sonictuning.com
