So is the rear adjusted like in this video but without compressing the spring?

Soooooo lessons learned part deux...

1: Yes, the method for raising, lowering, and setting preload are opposite front to back... adjusting the spring in the front sets preload and the strut adjusts heigh. Adjusting the spring in the rear sets height and the shock adjust preload.

2: Set the height in the rear and then set preload with the shock.

3: if you set the preload too much (compressing the spring) then you can bottom out the shock causing damage to it. Noticeable when going over speed bumps.

4: If you don't have any preload the rear end bounces around like one of the chicks in a twerking video.

5: The install is only half the battle with these things. Getting them adjusted correctly is the other half...

6: Megan Racing has no installation let alone how to properly set a rear multi link suspension.

My current setup is a half inch drop going from the back to front. I have 1inch of preload in the back which seems to be ok. I read everything from 1cm to 1.5inches for preload...

I see it all too often living in the CHI-Town area. But it never ceases to amaze me. Those girls and their booty-licious twerking talents.

Not only that, but she's flop'n that around so much, that I'd almost be afraid of her flinging off a lil dookie here, there, or everywhere.

Egads!

Alignment done. The shop didn't require the newer camber bolts and told the stock ones had just enough in them to bring them into alignment. Soooooo I have a set if someone wants them, otherwise I am gonna ship them back to Amazon.

Rake looks perfect to my eyes!  Gives a little more room for when you load stuff in the trunk or have passengers also.

Before and after alignment specs...

I have more drop in the rear and front than the HRs have... alignment is pretty spot on.. maybe job 1 cars have different camber bolts? I dunno... first time something went as planned on my car lol...

Haven't tried yet... had surgery on Monday and don't really want to jostle the boys downstairs too much... as it is I had to adjust the dampening driving it to and from shop.... frozen peas brother... frozen peas...

I'll probably hit it later this week, besides, temps are supposed to be down in the low 80's high 70's... perfect weather for a bit of thrashing.

But a semi fair assessment would be that I did goose it with the LMS tune and car stayed flat which is awesome. That first to second shift was smoother because the car doesn't jump as much. I have not loaded brads meth tune obviously.. but initial impression is very good.
