You adjust the threaded portion of the coilovers, whether it be the shock body, or the spring perch. Just look at a coilover and it should be self-explanatory.

Yup, use a Measuring tape to measure the same points on each side of the car.

PM vendors and get different price quotes here on the forum. They give great deals here and all of the ones I pm'd/emailed were very nice and quick to respond.

Yup they do... I talked to one of the vendors here and he hooked me up. Mine are being shipped right now.

I got my custom BCR coilovers yesterday! I want to install them myself... It looks pretty straight forward. Does anyone know how difficult they are to install?
Thanks

I'm thinking of purchasing the Megan LP series coilovers that are 32 way adjustables for my 2010 IS250 AWD and they sit on 20" Vellanos staggered, does anybody know what settings I should utlize? Thanks

Is the ride much better with KW? Seems like a lot of people here like the BC ride comfort. And BC has damper control. Do I really need rebound control? But how is the durability of the BC. Haven't seem much threads on BC failing. Anyone know how reliable they are?

Thanks.

Thanks.
The twisty magic damper **** adjusts rebound. There aren't too many coilovers for the car with both rebound and compression adjustments. Far too many people will screw up their ride quality.

Why not just get the BCR coilovers. I heard they are much better for jut a little bit more. I just got mine, can't wait to put them on. My car is sitting on vossen 20" 295/25/20 in the rear and 245/30/20 in the front. Hope it doesn't rub!!
