DIY: Adjusting ride height on coilover suspension

Just finished up installing my MCS suspension a little while back. Part of the process is adjusting the ride height before getting it off for alignment & corner balancing.

The video below goes over the process I use for adjusting my coilovers for preferred ride height.

So easy with the QuickJack! Way better than using the ol' floorjack.

For sure, practically cuts the time in half, if not more.

That QuickJack looks amazing but $1800 is too rich for my blood. I got a maintenance quote for $1800 and decided to just DIY it, can't justify the money. In terms of suspension tuning though, I dig the video. I came here looking for how-to suspension maintenance and pretty sure there are no shortcuts, I just have to take the wheels off and look at it.

You can find the QuickJack for around $1k. At least for the version I have. Usually the QuickJack site itself has the best deals.
