According to Ohlins, 1 full rotation is 1.5mm height.
So for example, to lower the car 1.5mm, I would do one full rotation of the threaded perch above, moving the perch closer to the frame. To return the preload to the recommended amount, I would also turn the threaded shock body 1 full turn to maintain the same unloaded spring length.
Not sure why they would refer to the threaded spring perch as the "Preload Adjuster." Am I missing something? |
For the 1M rear suspension setup the height adjuster is both a preload adjuster and height adjuster. Damper length will not determine preload.
Height can only be adjusted at the height adjuster, NOT at the damper.
