Yea I was faced with the same problem with the rear damper adjusters. I didn't want to cut holes in the read deck behind the back seats, but I never tracked my car either (1996 lexus ls400) so I just set it to the damping to a moderate setting and left it. But for 800 bucks it was a good deal in my books

I have SMC cylinders up front and slam specialities bags in the rear. If I set the car at stock height, it feels very close to stock. If I have the car at a lower height, it feels smoother than my tanabe coils. My tanable's were stift compared to my air setup. The total cost was 3000 out the door from MIC in Montclair (used to be in Chino). I added another 300 to control my car from a AVS wireless remote. I can lift the car up and down from a car alarm sized clicker.

No coils needed either. I sold all of my tanabe stuff. I believe UAS requires you to have coils if you want to get even lower.. I did have the tanable shocks in the rear left in (on accident) for a couple of days. The car sat about an inch lower in the rear. I replaced the tanable shocks with the stock shocks and the car (all the way aired out) sat one inch higher. Which was cool for me because of my ARK exhaust. The car actually sat ON THE exhaust. Just a little too low and I didn't want to get rid of the exhaust.

I did some research, I think Megan or BC are pretty good priced. They are right under $1000.

But most people on this forum prefer KW3 Coilovers for their quality. But it's around $2000.

Correct me if I'm wrong

I looked into it a little bit, as far as I saw they void the suspension warranty and I just spent 2K extending my warranty lol. I'd rather not fight with Infiniti if I get into an accident. But im pretty sure it voids
