Initial ride height settings for h&r springs & hd's
Does anybody have some initial ride height settings they used for a H&R sport springs and VB's HD Bilstein setup? ROW Sport and Standard. Pics of either one would be appreciated too.
Thanks...

Here's what I did:
On the fronts - Lower spring perch 30mm up from the bottom of the threads.
On the rears - Lower spring perch 204mm up from center of bolt hole.
This is how it turned out:

Yep, if you want the proper 1% downslope at the front, the front ride height will be at least 1/4 inch higher. With the H&R springs and Bilstein HDs, I always used 25 front and 24 3/4 rear.

Thanks Bull. I spent the second half of the day @ the local Porsche dealer fitting and testing 295/30/18 on 996 Hollow spokes on my C4S. Even with my H&R/Bilstein setup (verrry low) they work well... no contact to the body. Finally getting everything sorted. Pictures to follow.
