Default Neuspeed/ Bilstein strut questions...

The other day I ordered Bilsteins for my car from Shox.com...upon further investigation of said struts, I learned that the Neuspeed/Bilsteins had perch settings for the rears as well as the fronts...and I was under the impression mine from Shox weren't going to have this adjustable setting for the fronts (and was bummed). but the rears are adjustable. Now my question is this, how many perch settings do you have on your Neuspeed/Bilsteins? The reason I ask, is because I just got my order and to my surprise it had 3 different setting for the front and 5 for the rear. Is this the same as the Neuspeed ones?

Default okay, so...

i wonder if that would be the same as the 3rd setting on mine (compared to where you have yours that is)? and would differnt springs make more of a difference on height, too? I have the ARP roll control springs...
