Default Pls Help! Bc racing initial setup help

Hey guys, i'll be getting a set of bc racing coilover for my is350 soon with the 10kf/8k rear springs. I want to get as close to a stock feel as possible with no finger gaps on the tires on my 19's. I'm not looking to slam it or anything... i know i know slamm it! but to each his own.

So how many clicks from softest should i put the rear and the front to achieve stock comfort if not better?

Should i stick with the original 3mm preload?

I know you guys can't probably tell me how high the threads have to be to get zero finger gaps that i would have to experiment and test.

Another questions would be how do i reset the bushings? and do i need to reset the bushings at all with coilovers.

Also does anyone know the torque specifications for the bolts that we loosen in order to get our suspension on? like the control cars. the bolts that holds the bushings.. etc...

Thanks ahead of time

If you want a stock feeling suspension you should get custom rates along the lines of 7/7 or so ~. Stock springs are about 5.5kg/5kg

But that might be to soft so either 7/7 or 8/8 would be good.

i wouldnt recommend getting 8/7, its far too soft. 10/8 should be good if not 12/8 or something, i'll go measure my settings later tonight
