Hey folks,
Installed some new Meisterr Sport-Z coilovers on my NC over the past couple of days. I fear I’ve messed things up a bit, need some advice!
The fronts I got on easily and decided not to touch the adjustments at all for now.
However, in the process of installing the rears, I started to research how to adjust ride height, noticing that the rear coilovers were set much higher ‘stock’ than the fronts.
Stupidly I didn’t look hard enough for Meisterr specific instructions, instead using a few YouTube guides, in particular this one: https://youtu.be/IMMcA0IPv9o?si=QJJSwKwHr0UwZpzO
Which lead me to loosening the lower collar, then adjusting the top and middle collars in order to adjust the heights (in the directions noted in the video). I did this on both sides to get them lower and as close as possible.
BUT - I’ve since finally dug out a Meisterr instruction manual online that suggests I shouldn’t have messed with the top two collars at all, instead… um… twisting the actual damper body, maybe by hand?
It seems I may have messed with the preload rather than just the ride height, but honestly I’m still unsure…
Any help would be appreciated. In terms of function, seems these new Sport-Zs are basically the same as the ZetaCRDs everyone seems to have.
Here’s the Meisterr instructions page for reference:
