    Raise the car - it probably isn't a legal height anyway if you are touching the Cusco bar

    Nah, legal height is 10cm. I am at about 15cm and I still scrape my type 1 bar.

    Maybe we can get whiteline to make a custom lower tie bar with better clearance.

    Whiteline will encounter the same issue, the reason the LAB has got to sit lower is due to the headers and cat which is primarily the lowest point of the underbody at the moment, with that, there is a need for clearance for the LAB from the two components as well...

    I'm wondering if there's a way to improve clearance slightly. Like by about 1cm or so. That way it won't touch the headers and cat or the speedbumps.

    No because if you give the speedbump an extra 1cm, then the flexpipe loses 1cm.

    Well, I guess you can, if you are willing to relocate the flex pipe so it clears the lower arm bar.

    Hi guys, I want to adjust the rear dampers. How do i access them?

    First, you'll have to take the lower section of the seat out.

    Then, theres a nut which holds onto the side section (the section where the seatbelt is). The nut is located on the bottom of that piece. Remove that nut, and take out the side piece. You should be able to see the coilovers now

    To adjust the coilovers, i think its easier to use the hex-key. To make it stiffer, turn it clockwise, and to make it softer, turn it anticlockwise.

    Hope u can understand it

    You can also do it with removing the rear seats. You have to pull upwards the bottom part of the seat towards the front end. It'll click out. Then push down the back part and put your finger in there to feel for the single bolt holding the side support down. Take off that bolt and lift the side support upwards. It'll come off. Putting it back is more difficult as you have to get the side support aligned properly before pushing down.

    Thanks for the tip Aaron. I managed to access the towers. Changed the front to 5 clicks from soft and the rear to 8 from soft (the other way around from what i had before 8/6) and the feel is excellent.
