I have Eibach springs and coil overs. Do I turn the threads of the coil over up towards the spring to compress it or do I turn away from the spring. The reason I ask is I just turned the threads all the way towards the spring(1/2" inch) and the ride height is still the same. I drove the car for a few miles and made some hard turns and still no luck. Any ideas?

I think that you went the wrong way. To lower the car, you will have to turn the lower collar - using a spanner wrench - down the threads so that the collar is lower on the shock body.

Good luck,

Thanks Erick, I just want to be 100% when I try again. I don't have a spanner wrench so I just use a large plier. Took me 10 minutes to do each side. Thanks and i'll post some pics when finished.

If you want to borrow my spanners, I can send them to you.

You should consider having the corner balance reset after you get it to the height you want. Otherwise, if you get into spirited driving, you may have some odd handling characteristics.
