    Cheater chart? There's a post somewhere where with a chart that shows different types of coilovers in the market, I have to look for it. BC type BR has height and dampening adjustments. I installed these the height it was delivered, still getting a feel for the dampening, I had it at 30 at the start I thought I was going to break my back. I'm currently at 15 and stock is documented to be at 8.

    Oh ok jus thought they would have a sheet showing the height setting based on certain threads without have to Jack it up and do a bunch of turning to get the height that precise. But I guess it u have in your head where u want it to sit over the tires you'll do that regardless haha

    Thanks! I did it myself, bought the kit at Lowes I wish I had help when I did it though, I had rushed it because the expoy is time sensitive. I'm happy with the outcome but it could have been better.

    I see, it shouldn't be too hard to adjust, for me, I've have coilovers on my other car, once it's set, I haven't touched it again. Dampening however is nice and easy to play with.

    Did you find it fairly easy? How much did it increase your mpg?
