Yeah direct bolt on. Just takes a little more work then other coilover installs I've done.

I'm not sure but id suggest contacting a vendor. Some of them can place an order straight through BC for stiffer spring rates and shorter dampers to go lower.

the difference is in the spindle length. I'm not exactly sure which spindle the bc is based on but it can work with any model. there's an issue with a washer that does not seat properly behind the spindle nut, but I have installed them both with and without the washer without any incident. I feel it's better to leave it off. the other issue is some, maybe all, oem wheels will not fit without spacers because they rub the coilover due to the shorter spindle.

I haven't had any rubbing issues with oem wheels. Anything over ~7mm usually needs longer studs unless you go with 15mm bolt on spacers and call it a day.

I believe it's the q45t wheels that have a different width/offset. I'm not sue how wide they need to be, I usually just loan out whatever I have on hand. here's my buddy on touring wheels with 1" spacers.
