Yeah I talked wit Ridetech before the purchase and they set me up with 375/600. It handles great, but I don't like my nose in the air. Yeah I understand how to preload springs. like I said I followed the directions. My fronts came with preload and I had to loosen it up a little.
Zero preload is the base snug on spring, spring still able to rotate. That is zero preload.
Thanks for replying but for me its different, stock rims stock tire diameter, stock ride hight. Only in the front of my car. Front coilovers with zero preload still at stock ride hight.

The entire basis of this thread is concerning negative preload, I.E. spring loose in its housing with a lot of play. This is coming from ridetech Tech support themselves. This being the only issue I have I know how to adjust coilovers, thanks for the advice but im still at the same spot I was since I installed these. I believe the instructions were right when they state a shorter spring is required on page 13 of ridetech's install instructions.
