arghhh.
i got it back and its all set different each corner, the front left is needing raised a ball hair (2 thou, we measured at work!), and i'll set the other side the same, but the rear is way high, i'll just drop that til i cant stand the rubbin no more, also the bumper/arch on front needs some fettling, ah the joys.

well the coilovers should come all set at the same height
when u put them on, u adjust them then, using abit of paper mark how far down u crank 1 coilover down, do the same to all the others and work ur way from there
