Ohlins DFV preload
I am currently installing a new new set of Ohlin DFV coilovers on my FD and I have some confusion about setting preload. The diagram from the assembly manual for the rear coilovers shows the length of the compressed spring to be 178mm. I had to add a LOT of preload on the spring in order to get the length of the compressed spring to match the diagram. I estimate it was at least 25mm of preload. The manual says the spring preload should only be about 2mm.
Should I go by the length of the loaded spring or just loosen the spring perch all the way and then add 2mm of preload?
