Default Factory sport vs. Prokit-Bilsteins

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/5153/leftgap.jpg"></center><p>Front shock perches on the middle notch (3/5). Rear perches on the bottom notch (4/4).
Each perch = 10mm (0.4").

Default The middle notch on the front shocks is supposed to be the same as the perch height on the factory

shocks. So leaving the perch on the middle notch will drop the car 1.3" (if that's what the spring company advertises).
The bottom notch on the rear shocks is the same as the factory perch height.

The current drop on my car is 1 finger gap in the front. 2 in the back.
