As would I.
You think that really helped? It did not. I obviously do not have a helms manual available to me, so I don't know the specs.
It would've been nice if you could've listed them out. I don't have downs, I know to re-torque them to stock specs. That's why I was asking.
Now, I'm going to go install my dampers, and hopefully not die from bolts coming out due to me not knowing what the OEM torque specs are.

Just wanted to thank you for the instructions. They worked perfectly! Just installed my BC coilovers about an hour ago and your process was dead on. Thanks again. The whole process took me about 2 and 1/2 hours since it was my first time. I did have another person to help me out. Again, thank you for helping us little guys out.

There actually is a how-to for the IX. I think it includes a video as well. Do a search for it in the IX how-to section and the IX suspension section. It's there somewhere. I used it when I put the BC coils on my IX about 2 years ago. Worked perfectly

I've had my BC coilover on for about a month now and the ride is great. The dampening setting has worked great as well. I just drove the car around and was able to adjust to my likings. I do mostly street driving so I'm running 10 on the front and 14 on the rear. I had a tire store readjust my tire alignment after installation. I also have my camber set to 0. Re alinging the tires i a must though. Cost me about $60 for the alignment.

I agree, BC are the way to go. For the cost to value ratio, I see no better fit.
I just helped another friend of fine install some BC's on his Evo X using this right us as a guide.
