Installation

Installation should be performed by licensed mechanics. Ensure all components are tightened to the correct torque specifications as outlined in the vehicle service manual. Avoid using an impact wrench during installation to prevent loosening or damaging the product. Check the clearance between tires and suspension; a minimum clearance of 4mm is recommended. If necessary, add wheel spacers.

For comfortable driving: Set damping to full soft

For occasional track days: Set to full stiff

Regular maintenance is advised; spray with WD40 every 3-4 months to keep the coil-overs smooth and clean, extending their lifespan.
