Skunk2 adjustable coilovers - Need help adjusting
 

I have a 2003 Civic coupe EX that I just bought. The previous owner put Skunk2 adjustable Coilovers on the car. I am not real impressed with the ride, but I will deal with it for now since they are on the car.

Here is my question: The front right tire just barely rubs on a left turn, so I need to barely adjust them. How is this done? Also, once it is adjusted, do you need to get an alignment done on the car, or it that not effected? Sorry if this is a dumb question....but I am new to these type cars and just don't know.

Thanks for the help.

Cant really tell you how to adjust them (sorry)... I just know Skunk2 uses double locking perches, so youll need a special wrench for them (two, actually).

And if you change the ride height, yes you do need an alignment to have the toe set back, otherwise youll wear your tires pretty quickly.

heres what your gonna do. you have 3 tools that came with them. put the largest one on the bottom toothed ring, and the 2nd largest on the top toothed ring(there both black). have the handle on the bottom ring on the right side of the coil over, and turn it towards you while you turn the top ring towards you as well from the right side. this will loosen them up. then using the bottom ring, spin it downward so it compresses the coil. 4 full spins is about 1/2 and inch. when your done, tighten them, and then bring the carr off the jack. your all set.
