Suspension: Shock settings & ride height QA1's all the way around, and the car is slammed, too low, theres too much travle when launching it seems. my fenderwells are rubbed a little, and i'd like to rasie it up. Buddy and i measured 25-5/8 to the top of the fenderwell....anyone have any clue what an optimum height would be?
and what settings should i start with on the 12 ways front and rear? just need a starting point...
thanks.

Are you looking for stock ride height?
However much you're looking to raise the front cut that number in half and move the spring seat up that amount. Try 1/2" for starters.
If you looking for stock height in the front try 1.5"
For the rear coilovers raise the spring seat the amount you want to lift the rear.

The rears are pretty good. stock height and theres not much room with those 28's on the back.
