PITA scraping...nothing ever said about adjusting. depending on the person, any coilovers can be a PITA to adjust. put it this way, i've gone up/down on my coilovers enough times to know it takes me about 1 hour to lower (just lowered yesterday) and 2 hours to raise-depends how tired i am.

check hks usa for spring rates...i think, think, my RS are about 9/8 or 10/9...
