Default Those with Hals, what are you setting the ride height to?

I was just curious as to what you all are putting them at? The car is set up for drag use and street use. I didnt know if you set them lower, higher, or at the same height as stock. I want to get the best performance at the track, so what am I going to set them at? Thanks a lot.

Sorry for all the Hal questions, but if you turn the **** all the way to the left (counter clockwise) is that 0 or 1? Thanks

Turning counter clockwise is looser. Use the top center edge of the wheel well as a reference point to measure. Make sure to take before and after measurements with the car parked in the same spot.

With 18" C5's and 275/35/18 tires mine measured 28" at stock height, I dropped the front to 26.5" after to give it a slight rake.

I would set it at least a half inch higher because it will lower itself over the next couple days.It is easier to lower the car than raise it with the wrench they supply.

I used a steel rod and a marker to make a story board for driver/passenger side height.

do you just turn the **** to adjust it? or do you have to use the wrench they supply you with at the top and adjust that also?

thanks
