Default Strange Front Coilover Install. Questions on settings for drag racing??

Ok so 2 quick questions. since i just got this stuff on my car.
1, what is ideal ride heigh to adjust these to. I had 1 inch hotchkis drop springs on the front. Now i have the strange stuff on the front, and a Stock ls1 spring with a competition engineering shock on the back.
I was hoping to go back to stock ride heigh with the strange stuff in the front. Is that a good place to start?

2. What adjustment do most people set the fronts at. These are only the single adjustable setup with the 300 pound spring in the front. The shocks in the rear are set in the middle.


Thanks, Chris

From what i have been able to find on the net, you want the height front to back about the same, with the car being as low as you can. This will get the most suspension travel, and supposibly be best for drag racing. I will have to give it a try, and try the 5 setting on the front strurts.


Thanks, Chris
