Damper settings may correct the looseness. What is your toe setting? Do you have the M3 guide rods? Excessive play in the toe arms could cause the rear to feel loose as well.

Yeah you won't have an issue with the dinan plates at all, and you can adjust the shocks by taking them off in the rear and compressing them and turning clock wise or counter clock wise, but for the extra bucks you can get the ones you can adjust while there still on the car it's not much higher of a price at all. Unless your getting a really nice set of coilovers(2k+) the koni'a with swift springs can't be beat..and let's say down the road you want to switch to coilovers Harold from HP sells the kit to turn the Koni yellows into a full blown coilover set up.
I got it! That's why I'm thinking to get the rear adjustable to make life easier. The front one is external adjustable right? Nice explanation bro. Well, it makes sense to me that koni plus swift won't be beaten by coils on the same price range

And for the full blown coil over set-up all you really need to do is the front conversion as the rear will still be spring and shocks(not coil over in the rear).

For the external adjustable it means the setting can be done with the shock on the car right? How about the front setup? Is it externally adjustable?

Fronts are even easier just pop the hood as turn the knob.

This setup may be for sale soon got a set of Catuned coilovers for a killer deal. The Konis with swift is a nice combo, I'm going to try out the coilovers and see how they compare!
