Ride Height Help

[patsy]

I'm in the middle of stripping my oe suspension to make room for my new bc coilovers. I'm after someone to suggest what height I should be setting them at. As in a size from wheel centre to wheel arch! My car is a new age wrx wagon. I hope someone understands what I'm meaning!

My mate fitted his BC's straight as they came out of the box and they were too low and needed adjusting up.

5 full turns of the strut is 1 inch so i would give them at least 5 full turns before fitting.

The spring rate comes set up so just leave it as it is for now.

And 10 clicks from soft seems like a good damping rate on mine for every day driving.

When i fitted mine i adjusted them down till the scrubbed on hard cornering and then would them up a couple of turns

and it seems to be fine apart from speed bumps
