okay guys i have another question...
The "instructions" if you want to call them that says that to adjust height for the coilover system with an adjustable lower mount, such as the front setup on our cars, you "raise the spring perch enough to snug the spring but not compress it then lock it in place and move the adjustable lower mount to raise and lower the vehicle." So my question arises for the rear setup, because the shock has threads on the lower mount just like the front setup, but it also has the adjustable collar on the spring. How do you adjust the height for the rear? I cant see that threading just the shock up or down in the rear will raise or lower the vehicle without affecting your dampening correct? Im lost...
and no this is not my first time installing coilovers, im just trying to install the kit correctly and adjust correctly so i dont blow the shock out

I didn't adjust the shock too much..just kinda evened them out around how they were from ksport and adjusted the height from the collars underneath the rear coil.

okay so after installing the front for hours.(1st timer). i went to work right after. so i notice a slight change on the steer. i think it is more responsive and got stiffer. and car dont turn to right when letting go the steering wheel anymore. and like mins ago, there are humps here in our neighborhood, i speed up the car a lil bit, like 10mph, coils are stiff... its on 3/6.
man the rear strut is giving me a hard time!!! is there a technique to it?

lorenzo 20 x 9.5 +35 all the way around with nitto neo gen 225/35zr20 tires. have a great stretch on them. rides great only rubs when I hit a big bump. I have damper set on 12 out of 36 (36 being the softest the way i counted.) I love the way it turned out.
