Coilover Height Adjustment

[Hugo-]

Need to raise the front of my car as splitter is hitting everything when travelling above 30.

Is it just a case of jacking car up, taking wheels off and winding them down (making spring longer). I'm assuming I will need tracking etc done again? Camber will still be ok I guess.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Nope you will need to wind them up, as for tracking it depends how low you are at the mo and as to how high you are raising

^ Surely winding the spring up (tighter) will make the car sit lower?

Don't want to come up too much, just 10mm from this:

Got to, you just can't drive it like this! Splitter is constantly hitting the floor, and wheels are scrubbing.

you don't compress the spring when you adjust the platforms

turn the platforms right (up) = higher ride height
