Was reading the posts on the BC Coilovers from FX on the fronts which I have currently installed on my Nissan Altima. I greatly appreciate the pictures made things aloooootttt easier. I noticed when I jacked up my car to adjust the height of the rears to put some anti-seize on the threads my rear spring was loose and able to move up and down???? Is the preload not set?

I was asking does anyone have a write-up on how to adjust rear height and also set the preload for the rear? Which I would reaaalllyyyyy appreciate. (pictures included) THanks for the help.
 
you should follow and read the instruction on the fronts the only thing that is going to be different is when adjusting the rears you want to copy the same adjustment you used for the shock or strut to the spring mount portion. you shouldn't have to mess with the preload
just losing the nut and rotate to desired height, I know it might be a pain in the butt, but it is better to adjust with that assembly off of the car.

Thanks for the info, I did want to ask again about the rear springs? Should the rear springs be loose (able to rotate a little and also able to move the spring up and down) after jacking my car up and with the wheels taken off? Or should this spring be tighter than this? Wanted to know if the preload is not set or off?
