Initial Adjustment, Icon Coilovers

[NZDZRT]

I have a Gen 5, 2015 TE w/KDSS (not sure if that matters) I am seeking to lift the front 3". My CO's are 2.5" with the 650lb coils, 58747, I think. Can anyone get me close? I'm not sure how easy these are to raise once installed, maybe it's not too bad if the units are at full extension? Thanks!

I believe an inch of exposed threads above the perch gives you about 2.5 inches of lift, or less if you have skids/bumper/winch etc. So you can try going for a bit more maybe, start at 1.5 inches of thread above the perch and go from there.

The perches are easy enough to turn if you jack the front of the car up so the control arms are drooping. IF you have an adjustment tool or a punch of the right diameter to fit in on the holes to turn it, otherwise not!

Thanks for the tip and recommendation!

That's what's so awesome about this forum. I appreciate that you tied it to exposed thread length. I MEANT to do that in my post, but you handled it. And I LOVE The Warthog. Great build.
