Anyone running cxracing coilovers that can help me figure out the proper adjustment?
I just installed them a few days ago and had the rear springs and shocks spun all the way down. The shocks bottomed out on every bump in the road. I've read a couple people had this issue but solved it by spinning rhe shocks down but since I had already done that, I don't know... I raised the springs up a bunch and I'm not happy with the ride height and still bottom out on big bumps. If you know of any fine adjustments or removing anything to help please chime in. Thanks!

get another set of springs.

I recommend a 400-500ib/in x 7-8in spring in the front, 300-375ib/in x 8-9in in the rear.

I'm assuming its linear springs front and rear 60mm or 2.5in.

If you have the spring wound all the way out on the perch and its still too low, the springs are not the right size.
