Default Oem Sport Springs/NuespeedBils perch settings?

I'm having them installed on my '99.5tqms this Friday and have worn out the archives this past week looking for perch settings. Any reason not to set them at the lowest setting on all fours? I'm looking to lower the car a tad and have equal wheel gap all the way around.

Default I have mine all on the lowest perches with that setup, no regrets.

some say the front should be up one perch for a level look, I guess I have a little front rake.

Default the whole point of the adjustable settings is to get a slight drop in height

the factory setting won't lower the car any.
here's an old pic of my car w/ the bilsteins at the lowest setting and the sport springs:

Default Are the Neuspeed Bilstein Sports any different from regular Bilstein Sports?

That you can get from other vendors?

Sports from Shox.com are about $40 cheaper per set of four.

Just curious if there is a difference. Maybe Neuspeed got Bilstein to valve them specifically for their springs or something, etc.

I think Neuspeed adds two more Notches.
