    Thanks, but it looks like they offer only one assembled height at 2.5". Strange that you cant choose to take the assembled setting second from the top.
    Anybody have the top setting on their 6112 coilivers? If so, what is the ride like at that very top setting? I would assume its stiffer and harder on the coil over.
    Feedback is appreciated!

    The drop down menu offers all settings. For the record my 6112s are on the top setting, and i love it.

    Thanks, I see it now. So at the top setting it feels like stock? Or?

    Definitely feels better than stock, its rougher than the 1.9 setting but thats just from a bit more from spring preload. Out of all the people on here who have on top setting, i dont think ive ever heard anyone say i need to take these off and lower them

    For what it’s worth, I appear to be one of the few who got less than the advertised 1.9” of lift on the 3rd setting on the driver’s side. I only got about 1.75”. Had I known that would happen, I would’ve assembled mine at the top setting. Rides real good, though.

    I think if it wasn't such a pain in the a** to adjust the 6112, many people would probably consider playing around with the different height levels. I understand the Fox shock is a superior shock and can be adjusted without disassembling the coil over.

    I agree. I would have already adjusted mine with a spanner wrench if they had come with a threaded shock body and collar. As it is, I’d have to go through the trouble of removing them, disassembling them and then reinstalling all over again. My guess is that’s part of the reason why they’re probably less expensive than the more easily adjustable Fox shocks. Even so, they ride much better stock.
