Default Evo coilover secondary coil rings

What settings do you guys set them to up front? On the instructions it says to set them at 1/2” above the coil isolator. But the front has the isolator way below what the rings can be set to. Please help.

You can flip the isolator over so the longer side is up. That'll get it closer to the rings. Looks like you have enough up travel that it will hit the rings a bit before you bottom out. I put a 12/300 spring on the bottom front of my 4 door but it's pretty heavy too.


Edit: looks like the long side might already be upwards. Just move the rings all the way down. If you have two of the 250 springs, it really doesn't matter.

Awesome, yeah I figured as much. I’ll just turn them all the way down. Thanks!

It does not matter with the EVO kit as they use 250/250 that equates to a single coil rate using dual hardware. The amount of up travel and type of use will also affect where you put the rings if you are running different coil rates.

I appreciate your help and guidance. You helped me with my gears and now the suspension.
