Anyone with the catman coilovers, how easy is it to change the settings. I think it would be cool, if I had them, if I could come up with two setups. One for the weekly commuting, and a second for the weekend autocross. Shock settings should be easy to do, assuming externally adjustable units, but what effort is involved in setting the ride height and camber? Any other adjustments that would come into play if I was changing setups regularly? I'm still trying to decide what setup to get, but this capability would be a big reason to got with the high end stuff.

Thanks.

For ride height, you would have to jack it up, take the wheels off and lower it. But I wouldn't suggest doing that since it's hard to get it level, even when you lower all 4 by the same amount it seems. Plus, slamming it doesn't do you too much good at the autox I doubt, I just leave it where it is and adjust the shocks to full stiff. Camber requires loosening a bolt and adjusting it. You can mark the plates and do it easily or buy a camber guage.
