that **** on the top adjusts how hard the damper of the coils is. so how much travel there is in the coilover when going over bumps.

to adjust the height, you need to take off a wheel, and manuall use a wrench to turn a bolt to raise/lower the car

Wheels are 18x9.5 +35 up front. I am really thinking switching to 20's or 19's up front but TIRES ARE HELL EXPENSIVE!!! I like the fact that I can run 235/45/18 and tires are a decent price... but there aren't many nice wheels (specially VIP wheels that i like) in 18's...

kidzik, when you roll/pull your fenders, did you have to remove the fender wells all together?? is there a hole now where those used to be?? i keep bottoming out in mine because I slammed mine w/ the ksports too. i'm running on stocks right now, but i've put adapters on all 4 wheels to make them fill up the fender well a bit. but now, i'm having a gang of problems going up driveways and doing sharp turns. what's the solution man?? chime in anyone...

You are the first person I seen run a 18 and 20 in the rear. Most is plus one from the front tire, like vette and nsx.

Car sits nice, front wheels are WAY too small. Looks like a Hot Wheel!

Nope, no cutting of metal involved. If you are using the stock wheels, remember they use a taller tire and the wheel is tucked in more than an aftermarket wheel would. U seen my specs and I am not rubbing in the front or in the rear UNLESS I drive it hard... but like seriously hard. Otherwise I'm good.
