Basically I had one of springs a bit loose (tried springs without spacers) and the BC BR vendor said since the springs are a bit loose tighten up the strut so there is a bit more tension, but not so much you can't adjust them. My question is, I raised my car via spacers so should I raise the strut until the springs are a bit loose then tighten to have just a bit more tension like the vendor suggested? What s the protocol on the strut adjustments, didn't find much searching.
Hey Rob did you ever figure this out just installed these and was wondering the same? Help please.
