This is crazy f**ked up, even for you Toby :lol:

I would say you tried to move both nuts together.
The top red nut is the adjuster, the bottom red nut is the lock nut.
You have to seperate/loosen the lock nut and then moove the adjuster nut, then tighten the lock nut back onto the adjuster nut.....you nut :pr:

Exactly. Quite clear in the BC instructions to not touch this adjustment :slap:

You want height change, it's the one down the bottom of the coilover.

Bought them second hand off some bitch (you know who you are) •_• advertised as "still new"
, upon delivery, all 4 were seized in the bottom part (height adjustment) never touched the springs, they were allready damaged. Managed to unseize 3 of the 4 and get the right height, last one wouldn't budge under any circumstances, so I got took the measurements to get it exactly where I wanted it and ended up being able to move it with some heat, a vice and stilsons.
