Modify Preload on Brand new Coilvers or Leav Alone? Measurement to get 1 finger Gap?
 

i have my new coils (stance) coming in tomorrow and before install, i was planning to leave the preload alone and not modify it. Do you guys normally modify this or leave it as is? I feel like if I touch it, i might mess up haha. Im planning to have a 1 finger gap between the tire and fender, any suggested measurements on the gap between the height adjustment perch and the preload lock perch to achieve this?

Well I got the bc set and I never adjusted the preload. But I'm thinking the preload should already be set out of the box for stance as well

ok thats what i thought, i was just looking at the DIY guide for coilovers on here and the guy had to set the preload as one of the steps

BC coilovers definitely do not come pre-set, and I wouldn't think the Stance do either. It is always recommended to check your preload before installing. It is very simple to do with coilovers new and off the car.

I just installed my BC Extreme Low coils, and the instructions from BC say not to mess with pre-load as they are set from factory. You should only have to adjust the ride height adjuster perch.

My bc's came with a pre set preload
