Settings for what? Only thing that will need to be done/can be done is the tracking! Camber and damping can't be adjusted on those coilovers!
ITB'd MK1
camber can
yea thats what im after, camber settings? as im getting confused as one minute im told they dont come set up and the next minute they just need the tracking done and their non adjustable dampers.
Don't know if this will help you but...
I just fit mine.
sit like this
The fronts are wound up very high, they go very very very low !!!
How do you find them aluco? better than std?

Sorry hadn't seen the replies on here. I'm not sure I agree with the comments about them being very soft, as mine is at the moment, bodyroll is drastically reduced the car no longer hunches forward under hard braking.
On bumpy country roads they're ace they do bump a bit more than STD but not loads and you can just keep turning the wheel and understeer takes much longer to show itself... you get plenty tyre squeal to warn you and if you keep pushing they eventually start to understeer slightly.
And the best thing is speed bumps aren't even that bad in them can take them at 30 and feels v similar to STD shocks. I still haven't had them professionally set up yet though. (Getting done on Wednesday, camber toe and all that crap)
Appologies for spelling I'm on my phone.

I am a pussy with long high speed bends as I spun my first Clio at 70mph on one but the car feels much more planted with them on and allows me to "dare" to take them faster.
I seriously fell out with mine when I fit them but that's because I'm a 20 Y/O r****d who got given some air tools a ramp and was told to have fun. I would seriously pay a garage to fit and set them up for you.
Will save you 5 hours of trying to slit your wrists.
But yeah, well worth £300!
And you know those A roads just out of city centres that are dead smooth tarmac with almost chicane like corners ?
Pure sex

They are slighty stiffer than std, on my cup there is marginal difference between the two set ups of eibach sports and k-tec's kit. The coilovers are firmer, but my shocks had covered 57k. I expected a better improvement tbh. I would advise anyone thinking of buying this kit- that if you want the look and like to have a blast on b-roads then they are for you. However, i feel they too soft when pushed hard or say the track. I agree that they give more predictable understeer. Overall theyre ok, and ill have to see how i get on with them.
lol, how do i use them?^ Get a plank under the car (i.e. YOU :rasp
Wee buns!

Yes, you're unlikely to wear out the dampers as they are uprated and designed to be used with lowering springs. If you fit lowering springs to your standard dampers then this will normally result in them wearing out quicker.

Yes you are if you can't use a C spanner?.
Seriously all you need to tell the garage is what ride height you require ( ie distance you want the wheels from the body) and set the camber to factory spec or a little more if you want better handling but remember adjusting the camber too much will wear out tyres quicker!.
Thats the only settings you can change on these dampers.
