I had to do a write up for anyone considering going with EQT adjustable coilovers, as I just had mine installed and can’t say enough how impressed with them I am.
Many thanks to Will_ and Doge with answering my many PMs about FTG, settings and thread count, which helped me make my decision. Will’s thread was also a great source:

To start off, I don’t auto-rx or track and I will say that I cheated by having my shop install the coilovers. I’m in the middle of moving between houses and simply did not have the time to set aside and do this in someone’s garage.
Took a couple weeks but packing was excellent and came with free swag, so no complaints there!
I selected this set up because I needed a solution that would allow me to vary my drop (from OEM to minimal drop) while having better responsiveness than the OEM set up. I considered several other options, but even with Fortune Auto, I would’ve had to upgrade springs in order to keep OEM height. EQT coilovers allow you to keep OEM height with their basic package. I’m currently sitting at 25.25” FTG on all four corners.
I haven’t tried the full hard setting, but I’ve ran through some curvy and highway roads on a medium setting with no jarring, as well as on the full soft setting, and didn’t experience any bouncing. This setup keeps you firmly planted with minimal.
Adjustability is INCREDIBLY easy. I can adjust all four corners in less that 2 minutes. Pics are below for reference, but EQT knocked it out of the ballpark with this design. Granted, you have to lay on the ground to adjust the rears, but seriously, it’s stupid easy. 10 out of 10 on this capability.
I’ll leave this open to update after I go back to drive the BOTD in the spring (to really put them to the test), but as for now, I highly recommend them!
