so i just got my BC coils (woot)

thing is, the dampening for the rear...do you keep the knob on the top of the rear shocks? or just set it and leave it alone?

installing them Saturday

When I had them, I just left the knobs in there, and they never moved around at all. And I'll do that again, once I decide to get coilovers again.

I'm getting ready to install Tein SPro's for a 1.2/1.3" drop. Question is, has anyone else used these springs and was a camber kit necessary or was there enough adjustment in the stock setup to handle that drop?
Lowering a car normally alters the suspension geometry, unless the car has a double wish bone setup.

kgf3076 is that the hfp suspension?
Nope, it's Tien S-Tech springs. The '14 coupe has a pretty decent suspension out of the box. I'm just not wild about the 4x4 look of the stock car.
