i'm using BC Racing BR series coilovers and you can change preload on them.
Im asking because all the time i have a problem with my car, is carried out very aggressive.All suspension looking good, i checked alignment twice, and i don't know where the problem is

Well, maybe i use wrong word, so sorry

.
It's difficult to say, is difficult to keep car on the straight line (on bumps) , i'm scared to take any corners fast because i really don't control the car. Yesterday my girlfriend tried to drive and she's nearly crushed it because when she pressed brake pedal, car started to put sideways. It's really weird and i just feel the car is danger to drive, also i've no idea how to find the problem

@stefan I have split out this into a separate thread.
When did this start happening? After you removed the 4WS?

Spring pre load should be 4mm.

Certainly if you have over pre loaded, especially on the rear, then handling could be negatively effected.

Are the bushes in good condition?
Are all the brakes in good condition/braking equally?

Mucked around with the rear anti roll bar? That can make things very unpredictable. I remember what mine was like when it was snapped.

Check the front radius rods where they connect to the front crossmember, they can come loose and give the symptoms you describe.

That brings back bad memories of the time my radius rod nut failed
