There's too many coilover options (11 page thread to explain 80 page thread)

~more noob time~
How does preload work? Say I'm running a 550/350 setup, how do you make the ride not **** but still be low(ish)? If the spring is 550lb/in, how many lbs do I add? or should i just immediately take the car to get cornerbalanced at a local shop? reminder that I would like to be in FM Vmaxx range of 12-12.5" front and 12.5-13" rear cause that just seems like a comfortable fun/functional height that is generally accepted as good for streetability (I have a big GV rep lip that may scrape itself to pieces).

Should have asked for a swap anyways, or driven Cameron's car. He has the same setup as the street car, just with a little higher spring rates.
Performance/ride quality wise i cannot tell a difference between Hater's Xidas and the prior iteration of the Bilsteins.
But hey, scene points and 10lbs lost. To bad it came at the expense of now using the crappiest spring sliders i've ever seen in my life, but c'est la vie.

You don't set pre-load with a single perch / solid body shocks. Just put the collar at the position that produces desired ride height with the springs you're using. Done. At full droop they'll be slack, but not a big deal for a street car. Can go back later and add tender springs if you really want.

hmm, correction to the first part, the ride quality gets butt.. with improper bump stops! That’s the problem. They don’t have proper bump stops so the result is riding on bump stops.
I saw a quick price sheet of one order and it was 3000 ¥ for each mount plus 3700¥ shipping. He ordered 2 spring mounts plus shipping totalled 9700¥ (87.49). So buying all 4 for $175 is a bad estimate?

The BC design is the way it is so they can use the same generic length shock body across a million applications without actually having to design anything for a chassis besides top plates. It's not for YOUR benefit, it's for theirs.
Don't feel bad, this isn't something that Jerrick of Meister R fame understands, either.
