Are my 5100's set at the highest?

    I really like my spacers though. I've heard of people running them to avoid hitting their 285's to the stock UCA.

    Oh okay. I figured the ride quality would be horrible by preloading the coil to the highest setting. I'd just be worried that it would do a number on the CV joints, but if you haven't had any problems rock on! I currently have mine @.85 and love the quality.

    Are you running stock coils?

    Yeah I upgraded to some sport coils off a 2015. My older ones were worn out, so I went with some linear coils over the progressives.

    Yeah so far I'm enjoying them. Only downside is that I believe the shop put them on the wrong side. I got around an inch of taco lean opposed to a half an inch of lean before the coils.

    Damn thats irritating I bet the shop would swap the strut assemblies to the right sides for you. If not, it's pretty easy to do yourself

    Yeah, I'm going to try and find the codes for the coils and see. I don't want to go through the hassle of swapping them if they're already on the right sides. An inch just seems like a lot for the taco lean, but who knows. It's not too noticeable, so I might not even bother with it.
