E46 M3 Ohlins R&T - Rear height adjustment, droop, tips

Описание: In this video I show how to adjust ride height on rear Ohlins on my E46 M3.

I go through the rear height adjustment, explain droop and spring/shock setup (it is not a true coilover so spring and shock are separate).

Remember to release the parking brake and put the car in neutral to make removal of the spring easier. Front height adjustment is easier since it does not require removal of the shock/spring, in the rear you have to remove the bottom shock mount and remove the spring/adjustment perch.

This video is part of the suspension series where I go through installation and adjustment of preload and ride height after installing the Ohlins spacer in the front.

A small 2-part series leading up to this explains basics of springs (   • Spring Explanation - bump, droop, compress...  ) and shocks (   • Shock Explanation - travel, bump, droop (P...  ) and how they contribute to overall suspension travel, components of droop vs bump.

-Part 2, is a compilation of tips/tricks/pointers that are important on this job (like watching out for the level sensor on passenger side, why and how to use a front reinforcement plate with camber plates, issues with Ohlins DFV R&T kit with camber plates - since everyone focuses on the T part, supporting the control arm, why Ohlins has a problem with camber plates, and more):    • E46 M3 Ohlins R&T Spacer - Part 2 - Tips T...
