Thank you.

I think they only currently work with 3-4 types of coilovers. I have the Whiteline LCAs on my car as well. Right now I have the lower ends of my RCE T2 coilovers at the outermost mounting point on the LCAs. This provides a more soft feel for the rear suspension, allowing it to compress more easily in the turns. It also lowers the rear end a bit more. With the Raceseng shock tops I have a minimal amount of preload on the springs. Right now my rear end is at 13.5 inches (edge of fender to center of axle, measured vertically) as compared to the 14.5 inches at stock/OEM configuration. This setup gives me maximum bump travel, but almost no droop travel. Steep driveways often cause one of my two rear wheels to lift. Also if I hit a abrupt change in road height on the freeway I think I am hearing the rear end top out.
