I'm hoping to get the ride height back down to where it was before switching from the Koni to the Afoc by switching to the 300 lb. springs now instead of the 350 lb. rated ones luck
I'm going to call Afco tomorrow and ask them why they don't cover setting the coil over preload in their instructions, I had Strange coil overs on the rear of my old Duster and their instructions called for setting them up so it had 2/3 travel up and 1/3 travel down at static ride height ready to race.
I'll post what Afco says about this on here later this week after putting the car back together with their advice results luck wrench


Front coilovers get set up with 3/8 - 1/2" of shaft showing, or less, if we're using the short front a arm type shock. Spring rate shouldn't be affected by different shocks unless the mounting location was changed.

Is this a stock type front end? Tube chassis? Backhalf Super Stock type deal? How long are the shocks and springs?

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
