How to Disassemble & Change Coilover Springs (COMPLETE GUIDE)

Getting your suspension dialled in may require more patience and finessing than you might have expected. A set of fully adjustable coilovers will give you the ability to adjust your ride height, along with preload and dampening as you wish, however you cannot adjust the spring rate. If you would like to change how your car rides, you will most likely need to swap out your springs for something stiffer/ softer depending on how you prefer your car. I prefer running a stiff set of springs, with very soft dampening. I’m yet to run into problems where the shock absorber needs to be rebuild because the fluid may pass from one side of the shock to the other without much resistance. In this video, I will show you how I replace the coilover springs on my BC coilovers. Not only am I changing the spring rate, but I am also changing the spring size which should in theory give me more useable shock stroke.
