fit them, put wheels on and lower car to the ground, bounce each corner a bit to make them settle down and park on level ground.
then go round measuring from floor to highest point of wheel arch, and adjust the coilovers to suit.
thats how i did mine

count the threads when fitting. have the two fronts the same number of threads from the bottom and the back two the same as each other. then do as above. also measure from the floor to the sill and get the front and back the same distane from the floor as it will help the handling

i wouldn't count threads as the spring isn't always compressed the same amount on each side
i was told.....

you could count the threads as a good starting point before fitting and then measure and fine tune when fitted

Put the front two ones to the same height and the back ones to the same height unless your planning on having the car the same level all round?
