New to working on cars in general. Help., Serious. Options

[Tedskiii]

Well as from my previous thread, I've purchased a 240. And it's my second car. I'm really into them, but I have this fear of working on it ! I don't know why. I guess because I'm new to it, and I don't know where to start !

I'm just scared to mess up because of stupidity. Right now the car is all stock other than coilovers which aren't set low, and an exhaust. The coils are K-Sports, and the exhaust is Megan. I plan Lowering it pretty low, not oil pan scraping low but decent. I plan on picking up a floor jack tomorrow, idk if I should get a low pro, or a regular one.

But my first plan is to adjust the coilovers, but I don't know where to start. I'm trying to find a tech manual or somthing I can just read through to learn more. But for now this is just my regular Daily driver.

Any help/thoughts on this?! Thanks.

Don't mess with your preload!!! You will damage your suspension and end up blowing your seals. To make the coilover it's lowest adjust in this order:

1. Adjust preload to spec, as I described earlier when I told you EXACTLY what to do.

2. Lock middle collar against the top collar by spinning it up until it won't budge anymore with your hand, then use the spanner and turn 1/2-3/4 turn to lock it.

3. Spin lower(3rd) collar up and lock it against middle collar using the same
technique.

4. Spin the lower mount up until it hits the 3rd collar. Just snug it up.

5. Bolt up the 2 17mm bolts that attach the spindle and reattach your brake line to the little bracket for it.

That's it, if a bolt/nut is stuck use pb blaster and don't be afraid to use a little force to free it. When you are adjusting everything, wipe anti-seize on he threads of the coilover to prevent this from happening again. You'll thank yourself next one you have to adjust your coilovers.

Take your time and read what I wrote, it was pretty obvious you probably breezed over my last post and didn't absorb the info well. Again as I said right of the bat, GOOGLE is your friend.
