Thu, 12 May 2005 08:32 oldcorollas wrote on Thu, 12 May 2005 18:10 forgive my ignorance, but if you adjust both sides at the front, then you are not changing preload at all, since a) the weight taken by the springs si still the same, b) the length of the springs stays the same, and c) how can you adjust preload on a macpherson strut due to b) ?? Cya, Stewart Maybe by setting the sleeve far enough up the strut and winding the bases up very tight? Your car will have lots of positive camber and look like it is on a jack, but pre-load will be increased!.. I will be going to a coilover set up for it's height adjustment and possible (although not large) weight saving, with a firm view to narrowing the track and softening the front spring rate (it's a drag thing not a drift thing). I will aim to achieve those targets around a different set of struts/hubs and brakes than those that I currently have installed. [Report message to a moderator]
