Need help please with gen 1 pfadt coilover install
Just about to wrap up the install and have 2 questions. Pfadt says to torque top nut to 75 in/lb. Do I tighten the nut with the suspension raised all the way up (jack is currently supporting the a-arm) or take the jack off the a-arm (suspension is not supported).
I also notice the abs wire is right on the spring portion (the wire is long and ends up floating around and getting in between the spring. Is that ok or is there a procedure to tie it off some where so it wont float in between the spring of the coilover? Thanks for the help

I figured out it does not matter if the a-arm is supported or not.
Still have the question about the abs line.
And now I cant seem to get the top nut to tighten down beyond a few threads without it turning the shaft. Any advice?

Flash,
Sounds like you did the install yourself. I just pulled the trigger on the purchase of a set of coilover's and sway bars. Do you have any tricks or tips on how to make the installation easier or things to avoid?
Thanks.
