Default installing/setting coilovers

hey i'm going to bring my newly bought tein basics(they are heavy!)to a local shop, and i was wondering if i can ask them to lower the car to a1 finger gap or something or do i have to wait and see after they install and then tell them?

how many hours should it take to install the coil overs with camber kit?

i suppose u could tell them to adjust it to ur liking tho they may charge for extra time. if u have a jack u can quickly and easily adjust it urself to w/e height suits u best. shouldnt take them more than 2.5-3 hours.

u may or may not have to remove the wheel, depends on how low u set the perch on the coilovers. removing the wheel makes adjustment easier tho. if i were u, i'd hang around while they install ur stuff. that way when their done, u can see how low u want the car to go and tell them to adjust it. it really isnt difficult to do at all if u have a jack and can take a wheel off..
