Rear coilover adjustment

[Kalpesh]

Hi all,

Wantvto lower the rear of my golf a touch more, am I right in thinking you remove the bolt holding the rear control arm in place so the spring comes out, make any adjustments reinstall spring and connect the control arm back up?

depending on the make of coilover, you might have to remove the adjuster completely to get it low enough

FK coilovers

I think they can go low

Will try and get round to it this weekend, one thing I have noticed the adjusters are on the bottom, can they be flipped around so that they are on the top so adjusting in the future is easier?

[biffobear]

Yes, that should work ok

you cant with FK coilovers mate, i asked the same question when mine where fitted by the VAG garage near me. AP's etc can have the adjuster at the top but for some reason the FK kit has to be in the Control Arm  someone will explain the truth behind it hopefully, its a pain in the butt i know haha

iv thought about swapping mine to the tops but it only takes me 5 mins a side to drop it out and adjust it anyway so never bothered
