Default Those with Grooved Bilsteins....

What grooves are you running? I am going to attempt to adjust mine today and would like to know what grooves others are running and what ride height it gives them. I am using the MTM/Eibach combo and want it a bit lower. I do not remember what it was set at now but I will find out when I remove them.

I have the "exact" same setup and I believe mine is on the middle perch?

Re: What is the ride height at that setting? Are the pics in your pic poster at this setting?

Default I'm using H&R Race w/ Grooved Bilsteins... set on the tallest ride height.

Bouncy as hell, I need to drop it back down to the middle setting. Keep in mind that at different heights the springs and shocks may be not as efficient as they should be.

Default I went to highest setting because of rubbing after Eibach started to settle.

Still have it set at the highest setting after going to the stiffer MTM/Eibach springs.

Can't recall the height but I beleive it's around 25.5" on all four corners?

Default Also, wheel size and tire size will impact this as well.

In my case, I have 18x8 OZ Sls with Kuhmo 712s in the 225 size. The tires will have different heights even in the same sizes.
