Coilover problem
Before i start i tried searching and found nothing which is any use to me.
I just finished installing coilovers on my FD and i'm encountering a problem i adjusted the height on three of the corners no problems and now the last one isnt allowing me to adjust it. Now my terminology isn't perfect when it comes to coilovers but when i unlock the bottom perch and turn the top perch it doesn't turn the inside of the coilover like it does with the other ones. All it does is either tighten the spring or loosen the spring.

Does your coilover look similar to this with separate height adjustment?http://www.projecteleventen.com/imag...0coilovers.jpg
To adjust the height you don't touch the the spring perch, your suppose to spin the bottom mount after you release the lower perch.

sounds to me like you're adjusting the pre-load instead of the ride height. You're using spanner wrenches to adjust the rings, correct? I put a set on a few months ago and was always getting mixed up as to which ring to turn and which way to turn it (clockwise or counter clockwise). I finally wrote down which ring to turn and which way to turn it if i wanted to adjust pre-load or ride height.
