Strange front shocks

Not hard at all. I just got done putting my strange double adjustable front shocks with 300lb springs in last weekend. Worse thing for me was adjusting the ride height while the shocks were on the car. Reason I was adjusting them while they were on the car is because I adjusted them before they were installed to where I thought the car would be at a good height. I found out I was dead wrong(SLAMMED!)... I reassembled everything so I didn't want to take everything apart just to adjust ride height so I just adjusted them while they were on the car and it took me about 15-30 seconds to get the spanner wrench set on the indention to turn and raise the coils each turn and I turned each one around 20 times all together. Other than that it was simple and easy, just make sure you get some dry lube and spray the shocks really good to help the height adjuster to move up the shock and to push the spring up easier. I will get the test them and my new suspension at the track in Byram this weekend, hopefully with good results.
