my fronts are fine where they are, just wanting 1/2" lower with rears..

the rear bottom "cup" is pretty shallow in our application and it is maxed out currently.
still lots of threads left on the shock body itself I am not right up to the spring perches.

I hope I am explaining this right..
and my question is.. by me "squeezing" or compressing the springs would that result in lower height?
or by "lowering" the pre load rings essentially "releasing" spring preload result in lower height?

thank you.. lol geez reading back what i wrote it's confusing for me too.

By "squeezing" the spring, aka increasing preload you will lose droop and possibly make your car higher. It isn't recommended to use the preload as a means to adjust ride height. If you reduce your preload too much you're going to get some noise from your coilover.

If you want to lower the car more in the rear you can get a lower control arm like stance or voodoo that lower the mounting point of the rear strut, effectively dropping the rear.

Just an update and some advice:

So I noticed my springs were "loose" in their perches up front (rears were still fine). I decided to look at the tein specs again for initial setup and preload.

Given some searches and talking with people it was advised to just "snug" them in the perches and leave it be unless/until you get a corner balance. Well what i thought was "snug" apparently was not snug enough as their was not enough tension from the spring on the locking collars to keep them from backing off.

I figured id try and do tein's specs and see what that does. SO i started snugging up the preload to teins specs. This takes a bit of muscle with the spanner wrenches, and now i understand what "snug" means.

Adjusted the front preload to teins specs, and now the collars are tight from the tension pushing back and it does not look like they will back off.

I checked the rears, and they did not loosen up at all, I only had to adjust those a few turns to get them to teins specs for the rear.

The only other thing I did after someone else with the Street flex series complained about the coilovers "lowering" themselves (which I have not had this issue after a few thousand miles on these already) is I torqued them with a torque wrench using the 1/4" port on the spanner wrenches and my torque wrench. Tightened them up good just to be safe..

front springs will always eventally loosen. These are spring on perch style correct? or is there a rubber spacer between the spring and the perch?

I just installed mine with Tein's manual front 28mm and rear 35mm along with Cusco LCA
I didnt touch anything on front camber.
I am wondering how you guys set up on front camber and rear.
I don't know what setting is good for street.

I have -1.5 camber and -1 in the rear.

-2.7 front -2.1 rear :D

(toe: 0 l/r front, -1/32 l/r rear)

I don't know what setup is ideal...
