Hi all
My wedge has adjustable rear suspension -
http://thumbsnap.com/5mOrBJBu
Id like to raise the car up a little higher so which way do I screw the spring platform ?
1 up which will compress the spring pushing the car higher
2 Down lengthening the spring to raise the car or
3 is it a fixed length and all the spring platform will do is alter the spring rate but not the ride height
Sorry if it seems a bit of a dumb question but I've no experience of adjustable suspension and I don't want to fiddle till I've some idea of what I'm doing biggrin
Cheers Ron

Thanks
Seems a little counter intuitive as when you have the car up on the stands and wheels off by winding the platform up your actually compressing the spring so it seems you should be lowering the car but when you think about the mechanics if it all with the car on the ground and spring compressed your actually making the whole spring/shock assembly longer thereby raising the ride height.
Thanks Ron
