Default 2nd.

if its your daily driver and you do a lot of driving in the city, then 25.75 is ideal. i had it at everything from 24.75 to 25.75... 25 flat look best imo, but 25.5-27.5 rode the nicest.

Default I use a .003 inch feeler gauge. If i can slip it in between the bottom of the car and the

pavement - I'm too high. If the .003 is just a little too tight, but I can fit paper between the pavement and the car - it's perfect.

The best thing about this setup is that you don't need springs. All you need are the shocks and their bump stops.

The car handles so much better this way because there's like no body roll yo - and the center of gravity is somewhere in China.

Forget springs - bump stops are all you need for that "look how cool I am" chick magnet factor.

Default 24 3/4 looks good, handles great, just have to watch out for steep driveways and agressive

speed bumps, btw on vogtland gts ftw and on avus with winters, iirc its a 25 on summer 18s.
