6. Setup & Installation

This section provides general guidance for assembling and installing your coilovers. For detailed vehicle-specific instructions, consult a professional mechanic or your vehicle's service manual.

6.1. Coilover Assembly

The following video demonstrates the general assembly process for coilovers. Ensure all components are clean and free of debris before assembly.

1. Begin by placing the spring seat onto the damper body.
2. Follow with the upper locker and then the lower locker, ensuring they are correctly oriented.
3. Install the ring, followed by the dust boot, ensuring it covers the piston rod.
4. Carefully slide the main spring onto the damper body.
5. Place the plate and then the ring on top of the spring.
6. Attach the top mount, securing it with the washer and locking nut.
7. Adjust the spring preload to the correct setting and lock it tight using the provided C spanners.
8. If applicable, install the adjuster cover on the top mount.

6.2. Vehicle Installation

The following videos illustrate aspects of coilover installation and the benefits of upgraded suspension. While specific to certain models, the general process and component handling are relevant.

1. Safely lift and support the vehicle. Remove the wheels.
2. Remove the original suspension components.
3. Install the new coilover assembly into the vehicle's suspension mounts.
4. Secure all mounting bolts and nuts, ensuring proper torque specifications are met.
5. Repeat for all four wheels.
6. Lower the vehicle and perform a preliminary visual inspection.
7. It is highly recommended to have a professional wheel alignment performed after installation.

7. Operating & Adjustment

Your maXpeedingrods Coilovers allow for precise adjustments to customize your vehicle's ride and handling characteristics.

7.1. Height Adjustment

The ride height can be adjusted to your preference, typically within a 1-3 inch lowering range. Use the provided C spanners for this adjustment.

Image: Diagram illustrating the process of adjusting coilover height by loosening lock rings and rotating the lower mount.

1. Loosen the lower mount (A) and the locking ring (B) using the C spanners.
2. Rotate the lower mount to increase or decrease the thread distance, thereby changing the ride height.
3. Once the desired height is achieved, tighten the lower mount (A) and the locking ring (B) securely.

Important: Ensure both sides of the vehicle are adjusted evenly to maintain proper balance and handling.

7.2. Damping Adjustment

These coilovers feature preset damping shock absorbers. While not explicitly stated as user-adjustable in the product description, some maXpeedingrods models offer damping adjustment. If your specific model includes an adjustment knob on the top mount, refer to the separate damping adjustment guide or consult a professional for optimal settings.

8. Care and Maintenance

• Regularly inspect coilovers for any signs of damage, leaks, or loose components.
• Keep the coilover threads clean to ensure smooth height adjustments.
• Periodically check the torque of all mounting hardware.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning; mild soap and water are sufficient.
• If any unusual noises or changes in ride quality occur, have the suspension inspected by a qualified technician.
