CAUTION: Left-Hand Thread

CAUTION: LEFT-HAND THREAD

We offer a few coilover kits that use a left-hand threaded body or adjustment tube. In other words, the threading for some of our spring seats and seat locks have a reverse thread. That means that what you usually know about tightening and loosening our spring seats and seat locks is now the opposite for some of these left-hand threaded components.

Again, it’s only a few applications. So to make it easier for you, below are the vehicle applications and coilover kits that have left-hand threaded components for the front left coilover.
