LOL, Ed got busted! Does anyone have the inches per threads drop for H&R coilovers (front/rear)?

I thought it was .7 inches for every 1.0 inch of threads, which is about 16 threads.

Is this correct for both front and rear? If not, what are they? I searched, but can't find it.

I didn't think the front and rear had different characteristics

in terms or ride height change. You may have just discovered that they do. To my knowledge, 0.7" delta on the spring perch results in 1.0" of ride height change (both front and back). There are approximately 16 threads per inch on the shock body. There will be a quiz this afternoon..."How many threads do you need to turn the perch in order to lower the car 1/2" all around?".

I didn't think so either, but my fronts are still about about 2 fingers and the rears are a tight 1.

I did 6 threads down all around.

Now, the front is a bit bouncy and obviously, it needs to go down. But, I need to know the correct equivalent to drop the fronts.
