BC coilovers - Help w/ removing rear collar(s)
I had my set up installed by Revworks months ago and I'm already wanting more. I know I can get my rear a little lower (regardless of what others have told me) because I have tons of room before the tires hit the fender liner. Could someone with experience in removing collars from the rear BC coilovers Extreme low package give me some input. Here is a pic of my car and another image that Revworks posted to IG showing the rear LCAs and the coilover. I want to go a little lower to match the front but not as low as the front (obviously). I didnt install them myself but I'm confident I can make the adjustment if I'm shown or told how. Which collar should I take out? Will the spring rate compression stay the same?

is that photo you posted how they are now..in which case why do you need to remove a collar when there clearly room for you to go lower...you only remove collars when its all maxed out...and honestly if
as far as removing collar, you take hte coil over out, take it apart by spinning the bottom purch out and then you take a ring off...or oyu can cut it off....but by tkaing a ring off you HAVE to have everyhting MAXED out or else it wont be locked down. the top two are there for preload (one is a lock down ring) and hte bottom ring locks down the height adjiustment. why you would remove a ring is beyond me. spring preload wont change if you dont adjust preload.... put the tools down and step away from the vehicle. |

yes yes, i edited my post after i posted.
the bottom perch spins right off. so once its off you spin the collars off the coilover. i'd think that the one to remove is the most bottom one, and then you would just maxe it out and let it all sit on the other collars/perch. |

Can anyone else confirm this? I want to know exactly what I'm doing before I devote my afternoon to this.
