stupid C/O question: adjusting coilovers so car is raised. do i lower spring perch or raise it
have the wheels off and psyched myself out. do i put the lower spring perches lower to put less compression on spring or do i raise the perch putting more pressure on spring?
TIA

the only reason i ask is that the car is moderately low and there is only 1/2 of thread left
the car is so low it rubs so i am trying to raise it ever so slightly, but looking at the coilover i am running out of thread to raise it.

yes, they are stock sport size for the b6 on the b6 sport OEM rim.
i just raised the perches and will put the tires on after i find a damn heat gun so i can roll the fenders tonight hopefully. the C/O's were just put on so moving the perch was cake. if i need to adjust tomorrow i can do so easily. i just didnt want to put all my strength into moving the perches and find out i went the wrong way, but that is not a problem now
thanks for all the help

you are running a larger tire than stock, but it's not horribly larger
what sort of coilovers are you running? You may be rubbing because of the wheel ofset more than anything. It used to happen when I had S4 wheels. I had to run some really narrow tires on them so they wouldn't rub.
