Ground Control coilover setup

what is the height i set the perches at so that i dont have to keep taking my wheels off and adjusting the coilovers. I havent put them on yet but i want to "preset" the coilovers to 2 inches front and rear. Do i absolutly need to get a camber kit ? how long before my 320 treadwear new tires last if i lower my shit without one ?

you will need to get a camber kit if you drop your car that much. Just get one for the front for now, should be ~100

FYI, the springs will just hang there making it really easy to adjust, you will NOT need to take the wheels off.

To adjust them just raise the car up and spin the collar. You don't even really need the tool except to loosen it from the other collar before adjusting and to tighten it when you're done. The spring just hangs there loosly with no tension on it, so you're not fighting it when you try to adjust. It's a whole nother story with the coilovers I have. It's a freakin' workout.

No, you will not need a camber kit at that drop. Just make sure to get an alignent to correct the toe because that's what really eats tires.
