    ST Coilover ride height settings questions. What is the max anyone has theirs set at

    I'm in the process of letting them settle in, so yesterday I figure I'd raise them up a bit since one side settled to 24.25 and the other was around 25.

    So, I jack up the car and decide I'm just going to raise them so that each side has 8 threads showing.

    I get the wheels back on, and a few hours later I measure them. Both sides are at 24.5 from the wheel fender to the road. I'd like to be at 24.75 at least, and prefer 25, but I'm thinking these coilovers won't go that high. Afterall, I cranked on the side (like 6-8 full turns downward on the perch) that was at 25, so it actually should be a higher ride height, right?

    Anyone riding as high as 25 out there?

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I have mine almost all the way down in the rear and with only 10 threads left in the front, so I'm not much help here.

    That might be my problem.

    Does lowering the perch raise or lower ride height? Let me guess, lowering the perch lowers ride height, right?

    If that's the case, I am a dumbass.

    LOL! Yes, if you move the perch lower (towards the ground), it will lower the car more.

    yeah you can get way over 25in gtf if you spin them all the way up. my rears are all the way down with maybe two threads left and i'm at roughly 24 1/4 gtf.

    spin them the other way and you will get the 4x4 status youre looking for.
