Nope. Adjustable suspension still works fine. All you are replacing is the springs in the stock suspension. So it sits lower but you do not lose the adjustability of the dampers. Still works fine.

The coil overs I bought from someone who ended up getting an awesome deal on club sports so he parted with these for cheap after just a few hundred miles.

Yeah you'll be another inch lower. Looks great but that lip may only have 2-3 inches off the ground. I did it for a long time till I lost my front lip to a turtle but it was worth the extra effort because it looked awesome.

Long story short rears are in and fronts are going in tomorrow. Car feels significantly more stable under WOT. Can't wait for fronts to be in and for an Allignment Friday morning. Will update then.

Sorry for the delay. It's just one issue after another but nothing regarding the coil overs themselves.

And how shocks and HR springs were looking? Is this concern about ruining shocks by springs something need to be worrying about?

Sorry for the delay life's been hectic. They're in and so far so good. I'm going to have a corner balance and race alignment Wednesday so hopefully I'll know better after. As of now I feel more of the road but haven't really pushed it enough to feel major differences. But I like them so far. Work great with the regular mode button on the car.

I have sway bars on order as well. Once I have the coil overs with those in there I feel like I'll feel much more of a difference. Probably do a write up following that.

Most notable is that under full throttle I feel like the rear is a lot more stable which is great.

Yeah not feeling a massive difference in all honesty. Feels a tad stiffer but i always ride in sport+ so not much feedback about comfort mode.

My spacers came with longer bolts that's all I needed.
