Quick question before I install these RCE SS1 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ordered the Superstreet 1 coils from Racecomp and upon opening I noticed both the front coils have some sort of weird thing going on with the camber plates but as a disclaimer I’ve never held coils ever in my life as these are my first time buying so not sure why the bolts don’t sit flush the camber plates. But looking at the unboxing of them by QueenBRZ on YouTube hers seem to sit pretty flush. I’m assuming all I gotta do is unscrew those 4 screws and it’ll fix it and I should be fine but I just need a good quality check before I put them in Saturday..also only got one damping knob not sure I’m im supposed to get two as I never ordered from them. But all around the quality of these feel great!

If you are talking about the 4 plate adjustment bolts those don't have to be flush, just tight.

Pretty sure if you RTFM it will explain everything.
At least I would hope so.

As for the missing adjuster. Email them and ask.

No I’m asking about that middle bolt in the center of the 4 bolts it’s like off centered

Its bolted to the ball joint that sits below the top plate. If you move the top hat, it should rotate around the nut. It's part of the design. What is the brand/model you are comparing them to? Not all coilovers are designed the same.

Hard to see in the pics but looks like the camber plate is just pivoted to 1 side (which it's designed to do).

We only include 1 adjustment knob...keep it in your glovebox.

Give us a call anytime if you have any questions at all.
