do you have. Car was in the shop and they put my old (stock non-sport) springs back on. Car settled too low with my bilsteins on the 4th notch (2nd from bottom) and the h&r sport springs. Had a one finger drop, barely, too low. What level can I expect with the c-clamps set at the higher notches, TIA

Default hmmm...

I have the Neuspeed Sport springs and Neuspeed grooved Bilsteins set at 1 up from the bottom perch on the front. The rears are set at the lowest perch setting. In my case the rears still sat high until it settled. I have a slight forward rake (which I like).

Default front: 2nd notch from top (more)

rear: 3rd notch from top. Have an almost even 2 finger gap all around...after 2 months of settling. Front has a little less gap than the rear. FWD 1.8T , eibach pro-kit springs.
Initially had the fronts at 3rd notch from top but it was too much of a drop.
