Installation took my brother and I about 45min (car was on a lift @ my brother's shop) But setting it to you liking took awhile (2-3hrs). What was wierd when I was adjusting the ride height in the back one side was lower then the other. I did all the measurements to where it was even. Now to make it even, the ride height adjustment on one side had to be raised?! (Anybody else had to do that?)

I bought mine from CircuitMS. Best deal you can get and they're really quick to respond if you have any questions. From FL to CA 1 week

They're BC Racing Coilovers. PM the guys @ CircuitMS. Best deal around! They'll hook you up!

I had to raise it up a tad. Just got done with it about an hour ago. The height is set @ 24" in the back & 23" in the front (measured from the peak of the fender, lined up with the center cap to the ground) Current shock settings are 16 in the rear, 22 in the front.

Yeah, I commute this daily so I know what lanes to be in and not to be in to avoid some serious potholes!

I'll post some pics later when I get off work. I'm out in the 707.

That's what I thought CMS sold me cuz I was like "damn, this **** is hella low!" But no, it's the standard setup. This was my first time dealing with an actual coilover setup.

As far as the ride goes after making all my final adjustments, it's pretty smooth. No funny noises (so far), no bumpsteer. The car is sitting @ 25" (about 1 finger gap) from the peak of the fender to the ground with new tires installed yesterday. (Getting alignment done this sunday)

As much as I would like to go lower, I can't or I'll end up teetering on the speed bump in front of my house. So the height I set it to is just enough to clear it with a scraping.
