Bought a set of used Koni Yellows with 185# springs and screw type perches, but I don't understand how to keep the perches from backing off.
I have the perches turned to the point where they make contact with the spring (only compressing the srpings slightly), but now the rear end sits about 1.5" too high. If I back the perches off, the spring just flops around (until the car is back on the ground of course). With the car jacked up, the perches turns easily enough that I'm worried about them backing off while driving. What's the correct method for setting ride height, and how can I keep the perches from slowly backing off? Thanks for your help! Here are some photos: Attached image(s)
