Adjusted the rebound 1 click softer front and rear. I liked the change, these single clicks are really noticeable behind the wheel. The cars getting softer, which is what I want for daily driving. I just put compression down a click front and rear to match and I'm going to give that a try soon. One thing that I am noticing is that with the exception of sharp drop-off bumps, the car is a lot quieter.

I'm going to have to cut the x-brace strut tops AGAIN. The tophat is pretty much junk IMO. What brainiac at Cl Development came up with the idea of closing off any access to the strut tops? I have to do this again to reach the adjuster with a T-handle 2mm wrench. (I've already spent 6 hours test fitting those tops and cutting them with the dremel to try to get the BC adjuster to fit. Now this...).

Measured the ride height on the flattest portion of my new driveway. 14" front 13.5" rear ON THE DOT right out of the box from RCE. Thank you RCE!

Alignment is scheduled for Monday. I'm really excited to see what the car will do with a good one. So far, the effects on changing the daily driver settings by going softer have shown the WIDE range of this system. In 2 clicks I've gone from a sporty ride to almost a German luxo-barge minus strut travel. Almost tempted to go to stock ride height or something close to it to squeeze every mm of travel possible out of these T2s.

Current scorecard:
My modified Daily Driver Settings from RCE:
Fronts: 2 clicks softer bump, 2 clicks softer rebound
Rears: 2 clicks softer bump, 2 clicks softer rebound
