RennTech ELM getting installed tomorrow - Advice?

Hey fellas-

I'm getting her dropped tomorrow. on my to-do list for the installer is the following. please tell me if you think I am missing anything.
  • Place at least two 200Lbs guys inside before final adjustment
  • I'd like the rear of the car to be .125 higher than the front
  • Place control module in either glovebox or in the center consul
  • fianl ride height should be .25 to .375 of an inch from the top of the tire to the fender

Am I missing anything??? Cant Phooking wait!!!!

I don't think the weight will make any difference. The car is self leveling.

Make sure they wire it for 3 wires, regardless of what the manual says. Also make sure they check continuity. My instructions had a blue wire listed twice

Follow the pin numbers and not the colors. It is easy as silk and all the adjustments can be made after the install. that is the best part. Enjoy...

For those that installed this themselves, did you disconnect the battery per instructions? If so, both batteries and what did you have to reset?

Thanks.

+1. But for some reason my auto up and down on my windows did not work at first. They eventually fixed themselves.
