BC BR Coilover adjustment question.

Hey guys i was wondering if everyone can post up how many inches they lowered their car and how much adjustment is needed from perch to perch on the coilover. Just to take out the guesswork in adjusting.

For example;

lowered 1.5 inches, approximately 5.5 inches from the top perch to the bottom perch

thanks guys! just trying to take out the guesswork!

you won''t get an accurate response unless your preload is identical to that of the person posting.

that being said .. if anyone replies ... please use a standard 5mm preload.
