It'll take a few weeks, like i said, gotta send one of the fronts back. The damper adjuster was bent. Pisses me off cuz i waited a month for em.

That sucks, But do a write-up after you install and test them. I'm interested in those coilovers...Probably going to end up upgrading to the stances

^ preload is when you raise the collars just below the spring upwards.

How do i know how much to set the preload??? It says to tighten by hand, then use the wrenches to turn 2 full revolutions. Will this have anything to do with the height as well?

Got them installed. Any one know the stock heights for the fronts? For some reason my drivers side sits 1/4" lower than my passenger side.

yeah, what jinsei posted......make sure you slam it like crazy! i almost slammed mine: senjen's g35 pics. as far as your height goes, i'd take the coilovers out, and measure them. re-inspect that the top strut nut is tightened, and ensure that the preload is the same for both sides. then re-install and see.
