Buddy Club RS Coilovers
Hi guys.
I installed my Buddy Club RS coilovers quite a while ago, but have not driven my car since... It's an endless work in progress. Being at school doesn't help.
Anyways, I hope to finish her in 1-2 weeks.
I'm going to set the coils to the right setting and go for an alignment.
New wheels, coilovers, brakes, and everything else. Yay.
Anyways, what settings do you guys have your BC RS coilovers set at?
Since my car is on jackstands, I can't really tell how far down the rings should be to be an X drop... Trial and error?
Or can someone say "well my rings (bottom of springs) are about 2'' from the bottom and my car is just about the top of my tires"... Throwing numbers out, just making it up. Hmm...
Any other settings or things I should do prior to finishing adjustment/alignments? Thanks!

here is my car slammed on buddy club rs
When they were put on the fronts were really low, the splash guards were rubbing on the ground. The back was perfect and I left it at that. I raised the fronts, trial and error and guestimating, by compressing the springs. Which I understand raised the stiffness of the springs and is bad 'cuz it makes the ride bouncy. But I have no problem at all with the bouncy-ness.
I have the shocks set pretty stiff. I don't know what the number settings are, but if you count the # of clicks in the front until you get to the stiffest I'm about 2 before that. In the rear I'm 3 clicks before the stiffest setting.
Truthfully, I have no idea how to set coilovers up, lol. I'm good with how it's set up though, but if anybody can chime in how it SHOULD be done that would be great.

I'm in the same boat.
All I know is they are bolted onto the car and are still setup like how they came... No idea where to set the rings on the bottom for spring compression, and no idea how stiff to set the shocks (I assume thats the knob below the strut bar you spin?). I'm a noob. Trial and error, here I come!
