Adjusting Tein Coilovers
I'm getting my Tein CS coilovers put on this weekend. I still don't have my 20" rims yet, but I'm guessing that once I have my rims on, I'd probably want to adjust the height as I like to keep it low. My question is, how hard is it to adjust the height? I'm thinking of taking it down 1.5-1.75", but I also need to make sure it won't rub anywhere.
My rims/tire setup will be 20 x 8.5" 245/35/20 +42 all around.
Anybody with the same setup? If so, how low were you able to drop it?

Pole Position
Here are pics of my car with Tein Flex.
I have the front set to 12 and rear set to 10. It's VERY rare that I ever hit a bump hard enought that my tires come up and rub the inner plastic for half a second. It's extremely fast and it doesn't bother me to the point that I would cut the plastic. When I set my dampening a lot lower, like around 2-4, only then do my tires come up and rub a lot easier and more often. Luckily I like it very stiff so it's all good.
If I went any lower than this I might consider it.
Right now I can put 1 finger between the top of my tire and my fender.
