Yep. The coilovers will come with spanner wrenches for adjustment. All you have to do is jack the car up, take the wheels off, and adjust.

If your going to be changing the height a lot you may want to invest in a lifetime alignment

Who else does lifetime alignments? Curious since my BCs are coming tomorrow and I'm in the market for this service.

^ Well, hopefully your local Firestone has some competent mechanics working there. Not the story where I live. They don't really specialize in cars that have been lowered. In fact the firestone I went to didn't initially want to perform the alignment because I told them I had aftermarket camber arms. Anyways, they didn't even get that far because they couldn't get my Z on their lift.

Try em out, worth a shot. I won't though.

Lol yep from Firestone. Getting it on the lift is the hard part. But after that its all easy. The guy I take it to has a slammed TT Z32 and a slammed s13 so he is used to aftermarket parts. A lot of the local drifters take their cars to him.
