Veneer Caliper

I'm going to install my Pedders XA Coilovers tomorrow, and I noticed in the instructions that one of the required tools is a veneer caliper.

Is the optional? Or is it definitely required?

I was able to use a metric ruler I had to set the coilovers. Making all of the adjstment are much easier to do using the metric units of measure. I also have a metric tape measure to check ride height before and after measurements. A vernier caliper makes it easier to do.

It's actually "vernier caliper" not veneer. They do make jobs like this easier, especially the ones with a digital read out.

Hold on. We have revised the manual and have an easy way to set ride height. We'll get it up in the morning as a PDF.

Awesome!

I'll be installing mine as soon as I get my coils back from The Powdercoater.

Received my sway bar grease in the mail from you guys yesterday too.

Thanks Pete. You have my business for life.
