Drove the car back home and oh boy it drives perfect very happy so far😀
Height seems a little bit high to me but he sad he put the on 10th theet.
Wondering about what type of the alignment and balance I have to request to get most out of this coilovers.
Glad it worked out for you. If it's high, just jack the car up.turn the adjustment down. Every 2 threads is roughly an inch of drop/height.

Go ahead and get the alignment. Even if the car settles a bit. It won't throw off your alignment by that much. Better than its current state.

Yes it worked out mostly thanks to you.
As I went though all these trouble and mistakes this thread would definitely help others not to make same mistakes again. if anyone want to go with coilovers but can't make there mind always welcome to come and test drive my car and get the feeling to make the decision.
