Default How much thread should show? tein basic coilover

ok, so i just got my tein basic coilovers and they look great. For those who have them or know of them, how much thread should be showing roughly to achieve a height between hr sport springs and hr race springs? I know it is a really unspecific question, but I dont want to have to turn them a million times once they are on the car. Thanks fellas, 2000 audi a4 Q.

wow i have no idea. i remember on my h&r coilovers i started out with an inch showing and that was way to low. i think i ended up witht about 2.5 showing. not much help but its a start. remember its easier to lower the car than raise it up. i would start with way more then you thing and then lower if necessary

i paid 750 from modacar.com, cheapest place i found.They also overnited them for me for no additional cost because the price on the sitenot correct, it was 50 more. No big deal.

make sure they are not fakes on ebay. they were having a problem with people making lookalikes. I would just get them off modacar.com, jeez they are already cheap as hell.
