Thanks man! The coilovers are great! Definitely can't compare to an oem suspension but its close! I have the fronts at 8 clicks from soft and the rears at 15 clicks from soft.

Plans are 0 toe. And probably 0 camber all the way around. I wanted to do track settings at -2.5 front and -1.8 rear but I do alot of driving for work and she's my daily. I will just change settings when track days come.
