Megan Coilover Setup Question- Suggested Ride Height Settings

I picked a set of Megan Street Series Coilovers for the 350z/G35 coupe, from the owner of the company for a killer deal.

I have installed the coilovers after "estimating" the correct height, the only drawback is that Megan does not offer any suggested amount of threads (ride-height adjsutment) right out of the box.

Can anyone tell me the exact measurement of how many threads left and how that translates to the drop. I have the rear dialed in, but the front is still a little high. Such a paint to adjust multiple times, thank you!

Best way to get the height right would be to measure how much of a drop you want up front and then adjust your coils that much. So if it needs to come down another 1/2" just adjust your coils that amount.

However I want to add that you have to remember that the shocks/springs are slightly inboard from the wheels so if you lower the coilover 1/2", the actual realized drop will be greater.

you said your rear was on point... Just wondering...

are you tucking tire in the rear? i have OEM 19" rays. i just installed my megans. Front is perfect tucking tire and all. but when i did the back we maxed it out to the lowest setting for height and when we lowered it it was just at the tire line. i was expecting it to be tucking tire at least. any suggestions or ideas of what it could be or what i can do to tuck tire in the back? i really thought the rears would go much lower. thanks!

Shorter springs in the rear will help. 1" shorter should do fine.
