good review on the coils I have them and they have done me good. It gave me the drop i wanted with more room to go, and for my ride height I can not complain. The best bang for the buck on suspension.

I would also fix the weatherstrip under the bumper and have it attached to the same part of the bumper all around. Looks strange mounted higher in the front and lower on the sides.

I installed a set of these on a customers coupe. I thought i had it cranked low but he was still where his springs were. I guestimate you could get as little as 1/2" drop from these. Im picking up a set as soon as i get in town

+1 to what R1Forever said - the mildest drop on these is very conservative...they do settle a bit of course (for me it was about 1/4 inch or so), but you could easily get a very mild drop out of these.

Are you guys getting clunking issues in the back? I've had my MDU's for awhile now and I tried tightening up the preload but it still clunks a lot. The top nut is also super tight as well..it use to clunk worse but when I tightened the preload it went away a bit more. You guys think I should extremely tighten the preload? The MDU's have a ton of life in it and very responsive.

Can anyone shoot a picture on how to adjust the dampening? My rear is super stiff it's like a weight hitting the ground lol.
