Need recommendation: How much thread showing/turns to set H&R Street(avants) height:

Fronts - 25.5" floor to fender lip
Rears - 25.25" floor to fender lip

If anyone can get me in the approximate range(or slightly higher) I can adjust to lower after car settles. Thx.

yes. down is down, up is up. make sure you have some forward rake. I have .5"

measure rake on the side of the car. maybe use a level point on your lowers.

No, he's telling you how to figure out how much to turn the perches

to drop the car X inches. He did NOT give you a baseline starting point for the desired height that you mentioned.

I achieved 25.25" in the rear by following the suggestions in the tech article.

Not the setting that he initially tried, but the one that he recommends. Scan to about page 5 or 6 thereof, and you'll get the info that you need. I don't remember offhand, or I'd tell you myself.
