Yeah, the two black round things at the bottom of the table are the adjusters for the rear coilovers, they go on the top of the suspension strut, so can only be adjusted when wheels etc are off, but the fronts should be ok if you jack the car up slightly.

I'm sure nick or fas will confirm if im right with what i just said???

I honestly have no idea. I've got no personal experience with coilovers and I've never researched them. Nick will be along I'm sure to explain :)

Shawn, the spring perches are sat at the bottom of the rear springs. However, it doeasn;t really matter and each manufacturer will have their own designs, be it top or bottom. You still need to drop the rear arm and take the springs out to adjust the pre-load, unlike the front where you can access the collars without taking the wheels off.

Kind of reminded me of the butterflies in me when I got my suspension mods for my 330 Clubsport couple of years ago :D ....... from Roy too :cool:

They look too damn good to go on the car in all this bad weather... ;)

Congrats buddy. I just would not be able to wait to get them fitted. I have had koni and h&r coilovers and they all come with the adjustable spring perch. To adjust them you just need to jack the car up and get underneath. The perch will be altered using an allen key (to rotate it up or down). :cool: :cool: :cool:
