I'm going to take a pic of the coilovers with a drawn diagram showing the measurements between collars. Please still post the diagram and table if anyone out there has it.

no problem. i was also searching before i install so i dont have to lift and set then lower then lift and so on....

default setting is not bad my recommendation would look great

Are these the standard measurements? assuming the preload is set correctly and both lock collars are tightened

for ride height, i measured bottom of 2nd Ring to Top of 3rd Ring which measuring Thread area.

preload can be adjusted without adjust ride height. which means you can readjust after alignment as well...

Thanks for your help! I was able to get everything installed including the lcas. I'll update with a couple pics later. I'm going for an alignment in about 3 days. I'm looking for advice on alignment settings. I'll only be DD'ing the car for now but I do drive aggressively on back roads. I was thinking -2.0 of camber all around with 1/32 toe in front and rear?

It's really up to you but mine is -1.6 at front and -1.5 at rear
as long as toe is near 0 then should be fine
