unit of measure one finger all around the springs still need to settle so yea the dampening is set at 8 fronts and 10 rears. still feels a lil soft so i will play around with the setting when i go back to get my alignment done
its very comfortable well planted with the current setting around corners. ill take more pictures when i wash her up

ride quality is fantastic im bumpin and tossin around everywhere lol. my old setup made a lot of noises everytime i turned the wheel, come down from a driveway at an angle even small bumps on the freeway with after switchin out i hear literally nothing, nothing remember how you said you have the floating feel with your setup well recently be changing the dampning settings up before it was 8(F) 10(R) now 10(F) 10(R) its stiff enough to where im the one flying out of my seat driving over a small dip in the road. lol
right now i still rub my tires because they didn't set the height to 1 finger all around the rears are still at a 1 finger angled so im going to get that taken cared of when i go back for the allignment. my tire's sidewall are a lil soft so when im making sharp turns i feel the car is staying put but my tires give in on the turnes making me feel like the car has a lot of body roll

yup getting coils is like night and day for our cars. when i was on struts and springs my car felt soggy, boat feeling while turning. Now with my coils it feels great about a month ago i put it up to the test i went on big meet/canyon run with a bunch of bmw's evos' subies 350z g35's. Put it to you this way there was a 350z in front of me that kept trying to loose me. He pushed it too hard on a turn and almost lost it and went off the canyon lol

Did you replace the strut mounts or anything else while getting the coils installed?

the coils require you to use your front top mounts and the rears came with these gold top mounts so im not sure about the rears
