Just got done installing mine yesterday.
They're gonna get a torture test on the Tail of the Dragon at Zdayz.
I'll post a review afterwards.

quick question for you.

did you install it yourself? was it easy? after installing it, what did you do with the offset? do you adjust it yourself or you have the alignment shop do it. thanks

Did the install with my cousin's help in his driveway
Pretty easy, first time I've done coilovers, far from the first time I've worked on suspension though.
By "offset" are you talking about camber?
I "eyeballed" the camber (surprisingly semi accurate) and drove it immediately to an alignment shop.

I like them, but I think they need more preload on the back, but even at max, it's only like 5mm or so before you run out of adjustment. Springs really should be about an inch longer.

Oh also... better go grab a couple M12x1.25 class 10.9 nuts. Mine didn't come with any, and they're kinda hard to find.

^Hey George, what are the odds of getting different springs?

The rears that are on there are 67mm X 200mm X 7Kg, but they could stand to be about 25mm longer and maybe an 8Kg as well.

Does anyone know what is the pre-load for the rear springs?
Also, which one is to raise or lower,shock or spring?

I had to preload mine all the way, which is barely any until you run out of thread. Kinda a bummer, because I think they could use a bit more

Think of how nice your car would be...or what other cars you could have right now...if your didn't gamble.

Growing up, my uncle used to tell me that gambling is a tax for being stupid.

I just see it as a pastime for people that are horrible at math and statistics....
