Yeah, it's a bit rough, but for the price it's a lot better than I expected,but it is nice feeling the road that much more, I feel more connected to it.

My dad had to borrow my car when I took his 335i in for service one day and he wasn't expecting it to be so stiff and he mentioned he 3-wheeled it coming up our driveway and burned away some of my tire... sigh. Have to replace the rear two tires soon here anyway.

yeah at least for scionlife I'm not, but In PR, I'm sure as hell (I haven't checked the 160 pages, I'm halfway there) I'm gonna be the first one running these and PR's streets are horrible, I practically have to zigzag my way around town, let alone the highways.....

And as for tC's believe me there are soooooooooooo much more than 3 here, maybe on scionlife there are a few but here you can see a tC each 10 minutes, specially in student crowded areas!!

are you running these Optional?

theres a spot on the threaded area with no thread on both sides and I belive it fits a 10mm wrench (dont quote me on the size) you have to hold it with the wrench while you put the nut on. I hope that helps I think i understand the prolem your having.

your talking about the top nut in the rear right? if so then you just have to hold the stud with the 10mm open ended wrench and screw the nut on untill enough thread pokes through the top to grab the top with the 10mm and i used a ratchet wrench on the nut so i could fit both in there. they should be on the car when your tightening this if it is what im picturing

the top of the coilover is threaded at the top and thats what your trying to get the nut onto right? Thats what i meant by stud. I want to make sure were on the same page. if the picture worked its the nut on the very top of the rear coilover?
