Re: Hal QA1's ride height??
o yeah, i have one of those. Hopefully i can get this damn thing working. Do i need to take pressure off the springs to do this? I mean by lifting the car up or can i leave it on the ground.

Jack it up, take the wheel off and let the suspension hang at full drop. That will reduce the pressure on the seat a bit. I had mine totally slathered with anti-seize and they were still pretty hard to turn with the QA1 spanner. It didn't seem to get a really good grip on the adjuster nut. I have thought about getting the Moroso spanner wrench to try it.
As I recall, you can get about 1/3 of a turn at a time on the adjuster nut. By the time I had raised the seat a full 1-inch on both sides, I had a huge blister on the palm of my and, even through leather lined gloves.

It could also be that I've only had to adjust them once since I first installed them.
