Installed Bilsteins and thought I was raising ride height but it did not,
For higher, where do I position lower spring perch spring I thought I knew what I was doing ( fatal character flaw) If it is already in correct position how can I increase height Thanks in advance for help Terry |

This increased spring preload and would have increased ride height. I've removed them but not driven the car yet. |
