What is the main benefit of the monotube design in these dampers?

The monotube design allows for a larger piston, which gives you more precise control over rebound damping adjustments. It also prevents aeration or foaming, leading to more responsive valving and consistent performance.

How do I adjust the ride height and rebound on these coilovers?

You can adjust the ride height by altering the coilover perch on the front and the spring setup on the rear. Rebound damping is adjusted via a knob on the damper, offering 12 distinct positions to fine-tune the feel.

Are these coilovers designed to use the factory top mounts?

Yes, these coilovers are designed to run with your vehicle's original top mounts. This helps simplify installation and maintain a comfortable ride characteristic.
