I was under the car today to check the rear tires and check out the F sport sway bars and noticed that there is a difference in the settings for the rear coilover assemblies. The right side is set a touch lower than the left. I remember the tech saying something about doing that to compensate for the weight of the driver. I also noticed that the tech left 2 threads from the bottom on the lower side when he set to the "bottom". I called the shop and the tech said its not good for the coilovers to be set to the very very bottom. I think he is just trying to avoid having to get under the car again and take care of it. I dont think its worth it to take it in to squeeze the last 2-3mm and have to realign. I was just wondering if you have heard the same stuff or is this guy BSing me??

I wouldn't believe it. Its its set up to go that LOW then they are MFG to handle it. If anything I am sure the lower you go on any coil would wear them faster then a higher setting. I may be 100% wrong but I think this guy is being lazy.
