Need help adjusting the front coilovers? Anybody around orange county willing to help me out.

I am visiting from the A8 forum and the reason I had to post this here is because there are not that many A8 owners in the orange county area that can help me out. most owners are back east.

My A8 is lowered with H&R coilovers which is only adjustable in the front. I never done the adjustment before and I would really appreciate it if someone around orange county area can help me adjust the front driver side. I wanted to this long time ago but I didn't know exactly how to it. My front driver side is a tad (about 3/8" or little bid more) higher than the passenger side and it makes the car look uneven.

I would appreciate it if anybody would be kind enough to adjust the front height for me. It should not take more than 10 minutes. I really wanna see someone do it before I can do myself.

Thanks.

That is screwed up! You need corner-balancing, equal weight on opposite corners, LF+RR=RF+LR!

The weight on RF+LR needs to equal LF+RR, if not it is like a table with a short leg. Find a Bosch Service Center if you want good work, it will take more than ten minutes to set up a bump-steer suspension! lol Why even buy coilovers if you don't get them installed right?
