    JOM rear installation problem perhaps???

    Sup guys, I just finished installing the JOM kit for my 318is but when in the process of doing the rear, the adjusters didnt fit with the bottom spring pads...so i just removed the bottom spring pads. I installed the rear with the adjusters all the in way to the bottom. I tried adjusting the rear but the adjusters were just moving in circles not going up...Any input on what I can do to adjust the rear height? Currently sitting very high in the rear..and sorry i dont really have pics:(

    The adjusters are 2 pieces. The bottom one cannot spin. Make the space in between the lock collar, and the base taller therefore raising the height.

      Thanks Im most likely going to need to remove the rear and make space between the collars by hand, as I tried last night with the coilover key and it was the same end result of it spinning together

        Alright so I made space between the the lock and the base but when I tried to adjust the whole thing kept spinning all together again...is it because I dont have the spring pad in the bottom?

          I couldnt run the pad on the bottom either. its very hard to adjust once their on. easiest just to take them off and do it by hand.. takes 10-15 minutes to remove it anyways.

          I run them all the way down and its tucking 1/4 of tire so its good.
          running 215/40/17 et25.
