Great post man, can't wait to see the final pic of your car on the JIC coilovers.
I like the fact that you took pics of the process of getting it install rather than just the final product...awesome.
Now all you need is a nice set of phat rims.

No, i can go much lower. I think i'm going to drop the back just a little bit more when i get my new wheels in December.

raise the front.. well you have to. unless you are not getting wheels.. then yeah doesn't matter..

when i first put my JIC's on. it was low like yours *below* but when i put the 19's on.. i knew i would mess up my fenders when it came to bumps or making turns.

so are the coilovers preset from the factory. All you need to do is worry about height and not making the car level from side to side. I know with my
S4 it was a pain getting the rear to sit level because the coil preload adjuster was not set even with the the opposing side.
