This is the before and after. I don't plan on slamming it, but does this look ok to you guys? I just want a finger gap all around, seems like the rear is a little bit lower. When you say a finger, 2 finger gap, does that mean if you stick your finger straight in or at an angle up because the tire is curved up if I got it right. And to get it as close to the oem ride as possible, what do you guys with set it to front and rear? This is the first time I have coils, so please bear with me guys. Thanks.

Bump.. I have my LP's in my closet and ready to install them next week I'm going to be in stalling them at the same time as my 20's.. im looking to get a little tuck or finger gap.. but definitley want to hear some input on what to set the dampening at for the front and rear to try and get close to oem ride quality as possible

just out of curiosity if you set them to soft you can blow the shocks right?

Before and after installing Megan LP coils. Look at the fender and tire gap.

you should go lower since the 20's give you lots of ground clearance. It looks like your rear is lower than the front. Second pic looks like a finger gap.

Did you adjust the coils or was this straight install out of the box?

No, my machanic lowered them, right now he set them at 8 clicks all around, I'm looking to the oem ride comfort.

A little bit on the soft side, I might turn it up to a stiffer setting.
