I never had to adjust my ride height after installing my TEIN FLEX coilovers but now I think I might hawve to. My question is, do I need to remove the wheel before adjusting the ride height on the coilover?

I don't know how it is on the Tein Flex, but I've never seen a Coilover which needed the wheels off to be adjusted.

So if I lift it up on a jack I should be able to adjust?



Incidently, who all out there has damaged their wheels by that nice thwap sound as the wheel hits the fender well?

I love em...I think if you go the flex route you should also go the EFDC route...it just takes some grinding to get them in

Anthony, you don't have to even lift the car unless there is no space to move the mechanism that adjusts the Coilovers.
