. Most people just install CO's and go, few actually take the time to set it up right

That's actually quite affordable for a corner balancing. It's a time consuming process.

It's not the upper mount, its not a loud "clunking" noise like metal hitting metal, but a light creaking noise. It was a pretty persistant noise up until this weekend when I had to drive my friends to see Fast and Furious. Not sure if the weight of the passengers made the spring settle more, or if its just the magic of the movie, but the noise was almost completely gone after.

I am in Irvine, if you are ever around then let me know and I'd be happy to let you sit in the car. I'd like to know how the KWs feel too just to know what I'm missing out on!

I think Robi's quote was the highest I got from a few different shops. Since I saved some money by getting cheaper coilovers I figure I can spend a little more on the set-up. I'm not sure how it would compare to another shop doing CB/alignment, but I guess I am paying for the peace of mind of having a very reputable tuner set this up.

I rode on some Moton's and I already want to switch to either AST or Ohlins. Waiting for something in the Stance to wear out so I can justify it but so far so good...

where to find the rear dampening nut

I have some stance colivers to I have the super sport + is what they are called now. I do I get to the rear coilover to adjust the dampening? I have been trying to find the location since I had someone else install them. Any help would be appreciated.

You could also buy the extension to adjust them without removing the plastic. Cost extra though.
