Correct...you adjust the shock body up and down inside the lower piece that bolts to the hub. This allows you to adjust ride height without affecting spring preload, which is what David said about moving the spring collar up till it touches the spring, then giving it one more full turn.

Ok well I got the ride height adjusted pretty close. The rears need to come up about 1/2 and inch and the fronts need to come down about a 1/2.
I got the new tires installed, and 2 stepped the car 1 time. All I can really say is OMG this sh*t hooks

I am so freaking sure this car will go 9's at 150 with everything I have done

All I need is Dave to do an alingement tommarrow for me? My machine at work is old school and the beams will not go all the way around

Indy drag springs installed on the Apexi N1 coils...
Front


Rear



And the new Taller/Wider softer tires...

looks good Jeff!!!

but don't you think the rear seems to be lower than the front?

Isn't that when you launch you will distribute the weight more in the front?

I'd lower the front if its just me like those procco Evo's.lol

Jeff said he had to raise the front and lower the rear.....

I don't think I can get an alignment on your car tomorrow. I am going to be buried on a car that HAS TO GO tomorrow, customer has been waiting on week on a HUGE job.

If you are going to be up here I can try to work you in but it will require you getting dirty helping.
