Problem adjusting rear vogtlands
I have had the Vogtland COs for about six months and I'm happy with them. Today I was doing some ride height adjustments and when I would turn the collar of the rears, the whole unit would turn instead of just the collar. Is this a problem or is there an easy way to fix this. I have an appt. tommorrow for an alignment and was going to ask them but thought I would try here first. Thanks for any help.

Check your technique.
The rear perches on the Vogtlands are the easiest I've ever seen to adjust.
Insert a 10mm allen key up through the lower control arm, through the spring, and into the center of the top adjuster. Use the wrench supplied simply to HOLD the perch that the spring rests on. Use that long allen key you've inserted to turn the inside portion of the spring perch.
Done right, you don't even have to take the wheels off!

Yes, exactly. And while you do that laugh out loud at all the other poor souls that can not do this
Because you have learned how hard it can be without the 10mm allen. BTW, I found 3/8s to work better...
