you are going to have to raise the whole thing because the springs are going to settle a little bit and it will be lower in a couple weeks than it is now, trust me.

I promise I will have pics up tomorrow...I think I still need to raise the back more...I cant even fit a finger between the tire and the fender...its a little slammed in the rear, raising it a 1/4 inch should be fine although I know when it settles it will drop a little more.
First of all I am really happy I went with Coilovers. So far I have all 4 coilovers set on Medium which is level 6...it drives AMAZING!. Body roll has gone down by like 80% and the car response alot better when switching lanes on highways. The ride quality is still really good considering they are set on level 6...Later on ill will probably bring them down to level 3 for a little more comfort but its not bad at all at the current setting. When going over large bumps you do feel the car a little more harsh but then again I have them set on level 6...I cant imagine how it would drive on level 12 whch is the highest. I am sure that level should only be used for track use and not street driving. I will have alot of pics up tomorrow.
You will love them Rehab!

The drop is at factory recommended settings. The AFS light did come on , but working on correcting that.

winter in chicago is not the time to go low. But in the spring it will go lower. I set my coils to medium six. Iceman is right they feel more sporty than stock, but i had the luxury package so i can't compare it to the sport suspension. The body roll is pretty much eliminated especially on exit ramps. I had h and r coilovers in my audi s4 and these are way softer feel, not alot of harsh jarring over bumps.
