Default Mine are almost dead even, but I have the front Neuspeed Bilstein set one perch from the bottom. If

you set F and R both on the bottom perch, the rear will definitely be about a quarter to a half inch or so higher.

Default hey you can adjust regular shocks? I thought you could only adjust coilovers?

So whats the point of coil overs then, if you can already adjust regular shocks?

Default The Bilstien Rear shocks come with 4 grooves of which you can choose one at time of installation..

hardly what I would call "adjustable" shocks

Default Mine were higher in the rear but I went to neuspeed in Camarillo...

and they swapped my rear springs. My car is level now. Not sure why it wasn't even before.
