Nick79, when did you order, and what is your order # ?
I don't see a recent order.

Please email me when you get them installed and take photos, so I can add your picture to the site

Cool

If you wanted shipped to an alternate address, other then your billing address, and you are ordering by credit card, do this.

But in your billing address on your credit card so the order gets approved. As soon as the order is approved you will receive a confirmation email. Reply to that email immediately, asking for your order to be shipped to a different address, and then just give the shops address you want it shipped to

Yes you can. Is a simple turn. There are two interlocking rings around the shock where the spring seats, like 2 nuts together, so they don't move by themself.

Moving these rings will either lower or rise the springs. Good buy by the way.

my friend told me i gotta jack up the car to adjust the springs.
is he right, is there anything i can buy that has electronic knobs or something.




or knobs on under the hood which then i can i guess make a mechanical design that would let me control it electronically.


by the way i am gonna buy it tomorrow or thursday, just trying to get info before i made any buys. i am about 98precent sure i wanna buy, just need this question answered.

There is no electrical device for adjusting the springs, you might need to jack-up the car. using a $20 hydrulic jack should be sufficient to jack up the front at one point, intead of each side.
By the way, once you set the look you want or prefer for most of the driving there is not need for changing it again.

Teins do have a an electrical device to adjust the shocks(damping rate). Some posted about this.....do a search. Then again, once you set a comfortable, but yet sporty fell on the shocks there is not need to change it again, unless you go to the track or other reasons. At the begining you will play with the knobs and set it for what you like, once you have it set, that is it.

I would install them for you fro cheap, if you were in south florida of course.

The lowering height, is more like how it looks, for me 2" in the front and 1.75" in the back is perfect. Remember you could adjust them until you like the look, then set it and forget it.
