Tein Installation

Hi,
I just bought a set of Tein Street Flex coilovers and while the installation seems pretty straight forward, I do have one question...

How do I know where to set the spring preload for initial installation?
I figure I'll lower the height all the way initially and then raise up to legal limit after its all together.
I just dont know where to set the preload.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to the recommended setup. Seems some didn't get the English manual but I did. You should measure it all out according to the spec sheet.
