You'll love em!! Just make sure you adjust them up from where they come stock before you install them. They drop your car like 4.5 inches out of the box. lol Raise the collar like an 1.5" and adjust from there. Makes things easier.

Good luck with the install!

How high is this than the setting it comes in. I'm trying to make an idea how should I adjust mine once I get them. I'll go a tad higher than you, just flush with the tires.

umm i would adjust it 3 inchs or so above factory settings before i put them on. and if you dont like how it looks you can always lower it while its on the car. yeah i would just focus on getting them on the car and adjust after.

Hey drnguyen86, your ride looks great! I just installed a set of FF1s and having trouble with my tires rubbing on my 215s. What size tire are you running? Any problems with your tires rubbing?

Thanks for sharing your pics!

i belive its at about 7cm from the bottom of the spring plates to the top of the sleeve for the front and 8.5cm in the rear? dont quote me on that though. i havent adjusted my FFs in months.

but its honestly easiest (even though it may not seem that way) to install them at whatever height they are at first. then go back and adjust each one till you get the desired height. its a lot of taking the wheels off, jacking it up, adjusting, putting wheels back on, etc.
