In the pics that is with the spacer in back because they went low!! My 20" rims are less circumference than a 19" rim with a 235/35 and 265/30 for reference...I can go a lot lower...past my rim if I wanted to.

Just have a few questions. How do you adjust the rears? Do you have to drop the control arm each time? When you removed the ones you had did you compress the spring or its not necessary? Why are you using that blue cord? Thanks

removing stock spring and shock does not require compressing the spring. Unless you need to re-use the stock top hat. |

that blue cord is so the lines where not stretched with the removal of OEM struts. Rears are VERY easy to adjust, jack up car and just use the wrenches just like with front.

Hey man just wondering if these coils are noisy? I've read reviews and some have stated this. Just wondering if you could share your experience since you have been using them for a bit now. Thanks

on the top just like the front, they make adjuster extenders to make it easy.

I've had my ST's for over a year still ride like day one, thinking if I should make the switch to BC. Practicality vs need, practicality first, otherwise I'd switch.
