KW HAS Rear Spring base spins with collar



Perhaps I’ve done something wrong, but when I try to adjust my spring height, the black threaded base spins with the coilover wrench and adjustment collar. I have tried gripping the base with my oil filter wrench, but it’s too thick to allow the coilover wrench in. Any ideas or am I stuck taking this all apart again? Lol

You need to remove the spring and the adjustment collar to make adjustments. You will not be able to turn it easily while installed into the car as the KW HAS kit spring in the rear is under a lot of load even at fool droop.

What he said. It seems like it is possible however they never provided a means to prevent the top hat from spinning.

Lame!

I ended up using a few dots of super glue to keep the base from spinning, and that did the trick nicely. Couple blows with a mallet should dislodge it if I ever decide to change setups.
