I asked BC Racing Sales why they charge more than 3rd parties and he said some people want the assurance of ordering direct and there is a premium for that. P.S. I also purchased the Rear Dampening Extensions for $35

You can get to the front dampener knobs through the engine bay as the pillowball mounts are exposed. I'll take a photo tomorrow.

I'll make sure I investigate this at the shop tomorrow. On another note, today I was measuring each corners ride height and noticed the right side of the vehicle is off kilter. Measurements over the center of the wheel (from ground to beginning of fender): Left Front: 32.125" Left Rear: 32.125" Right Front: 32.25" Right Rear: 31.75" Any ideas on what would lead to this issue on the standard suspension setup? Regardless, I would expect this to be resolved tomorrow after the Coilovers are installed.

Not on my 2016. You have to remove a lot of the obnoxious paneling. I just left most of mine out.

I get it that most people do it that way but that isn't really helpful if you're trying to understand why the rear left is 0.5" higher/lower than the rear right. If you measure it the proper way, the 0.5" difference could become a 0.25" difference in which case the difference is pretty negligible.

Also the rear extenders are unnecessary as the dampeners are easy to access through the side of the spare tire well under 3 rivets.

So I asked for a 30" height all around and they didn't want to go lower than 31" to allow it to settle. They said give it a few weeks and bring it back for fine tuning. Sound right?

1) It's probably not going to settle a full inch. 2) I don't think they're going to be able to only give it an inch drop even at max height.

And @mikew2069, I really wasn't trying to be argumentative. All I meant is that over the past few months various folks have reported measurements from the ground up and, for whatever reason, it does not seem likely that all those folks will take the time to respond with proper measurements. I am all for doing it the right way, hence the post above.

Not sure what you mean by #2, but I'm confident they will get me where I want to be.

So what are your initial impressions? Were you able to see the rear spring adjuster before they buttoned it back up? I'm curious how high they have it screwed up.

I'll provide a full review once I get ANOTHER alignment. Wondering if I need a camber kit since it can't be adjusted on the coilover and our F15s can't take an adjustable control arm? Apologies I didn't get to investigate the rear springs but will do a deep dive when I get back to the shop.
