2.2 Installation Process (General Steps)

While specific steps may vary by vehicle, the general installation involves:

1. Safely lift the vehicle and remove the wheels.
2. Remove the original suspension components (struts/shocks and springs).
3. Install the new maXpeedingrods coilovers, ensuring all mounting points are secure.
4. Adjust the ride height and damping settings as desired (refer to Section 3).
5. Reinstall wheels and lower the vehicle.
6. Perform a wheel alignment after installation.

3. Operating and Adjustment

The maXpeedingrods coilovers offer precise adjustments for both ride height and damping force to optimize your vehicle's performance and comfort.

3.1 Ride Height Adjustment

The threaded coilover body allows for height adjustment from 1 inch to 3 inches. This adjustment is made by rotating the lower mount collars. Lowering the vehicle provides a more aggressive stance and can improve handling by lowering the center of gravity. Note: This kit does not maintain original ride height.

3.2 24-Level Rebound Damping Adjustment

The coilovers feature 24 levels of rebound damping adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune the ride from comfortable cruising to aggressive track performance. The adjustment knob is typically located at the top of the coilover.

• Levels 0-8: Suggested for street use, providing a softer, more comfortable ride.
• Levels 9-16: Suggested for mountain roads or spirited driving, offering a balanced feel.
• Levels 17-24: Suggested for race tracks, providing maximum stiffness and control.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your coilovers.

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks on the coilovers, springs, and mounting hardware.
• Cleanliness: Keep the coilovers clean, especially the threaded body and dust boots, to prevent dirt and debris from affecting performance. The full-length dust boot helps keep dust away from the damper rod.
• Lubrication: Ensure moving parts are adequately lubricated as per manufacturer recommendations.
• Torque Check: Verify that all bolts and nuts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings.

5. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your maXpeedingrods coilovers, consider the following:

• Unusual Noises: Check for loose mounting bolts, worn bushings, or components rubbing against each other. Ensure proper installation and torque.
• Poor Ride Quality: Adjust the damping settings (refer to Section 3.2) to match your driving conditions. Ensure ride height is set appropriately and not bottoming out.
• Uneven Ride Height: Verify that both left and right coilovers are adjusted to the same height. Check for any bent or damaged suspension components.
• Leaking Damper: A leaking damper indicates a seal failure and typically requires replacement. Contact customer support for assistance.

For persistent issues, it is recommended to consult a professional mechanic or maXpeedingrods customer support.
