Attempted to lower the set of Ohlins coilovers i have on the S15 today and was thrown by the way they're designed compared to the rest i've seen. Are these non adjustable height wise? If not, how do you go about doing it?

There blue 'helper' spring looks like it has been compressed fully by the adjusters :-/ which is weird. As i renders it useless. They are there to give a comfy ride, the last owner in Japan must of wanted to stiffen it up.

As for height adjustment, they look like the conventional adjustment style Jamie, just wind the adjusters down.

Do not remove the helper spring

The blue spring is there to stop the main spring rattling about and dislodging at full droop.

They have the helper spring because they don't lower in the conventional way.

The helper spring is really soft and designed to be completely compressed under the weight of the car.

There probably wound up like they are to lift the car to get it on n off the boat to get it from japan to here.

So to lower it dude just wind down the blue lock rings.
