I'm not sure what they're adjusted to from the factory, but they ride really good when you set them as high as Bilstein recommends. This gets you to probably about a 1.25" drop from stock (they're slightly lower than my TRD springs were, but not as low as sportlines). I'm currently at 120mm front and 155mm rear and car rides legitimately better than stock (I've driven my car back to back with a stock car several times now).


I've driven a few cars with ISC N1's and ridden in a car with BC BR's and they both ride MUCH worse than stock. I've been very impressed with the Bilsteins.
How hard was it to get the height adjustment right? Did you need to use a caliper or just a ruler?
