Installing Coilovers

Hello,well the time is upon me to get my car out of winter storage on monday and then install all of the parts I have accumulated over winter,first being my greddy coilovers and controller.I am a really tech savy guy and have built and restored many cars and own a custom car audio shop but the one thing I have never done is install true coilovers,I have done full air suspensions and even 4link drag set ups but have no idea where to set the coilovers prior to install.Should I set them so they are approx stock length as a base and then adjust from there?I am only looking to lower the car around 1.2" front and1" rear,I am more concerned about the handling and ride (thats why I got the in-cabin controller for the 32way adjust)what I need is a rough baseline measurement.Thanks all.

I just installed my Tein CS coilovers and rotating those sleeves is a bitch on the car. If they're anything like the Tein set the rears at the lowest point and set the fronts at about 3/4 down. That will give you about a 1-1/2 drop all the way around and you can work from there. The fronts were pretty easy to adjust, but the back sucks.
