Changing height of Bilstein 5100s

Hey Guys,

Forgive me if there is already a thread made for this, I didn't see anything...

I just got my hands on some 5100s, and want to set them at the highest setting... but I don't know how to change the height setting.

Could you give me a quick walk through, or throw some pictures up, or send a link my way?

Thanks

Cheers

 

Just an FYI, if you bought them pre-assembled with coils, you'll need to disassemble, change the spring seat setting, and reassemble.

 

thats what I figured... but that c-clip is the only thing that holds up the coils?

Do I need a special tool to move the c clip?

 

Cheers, thanks for the tip

Although I did just buy the shocks alone, but thanks

 

Correct, but the spring perch envelopes around the c-clip, holding it in place. So although its easy to take the c-clip out by hand, it's very sturdy once the spring perch is around it. You'll see when you get them set up.

 

As previous members have posted, no special tools needed to move the clip.

Good luck!

 

My special tools for moving them was two fingers and a thumb... although I did split my thumbnail far enough to draw blood doing the second one. Might want to try some pliers?

 

Cheers fellas,

thanks a lot for all the info.
