whould be in the directions. You set it with an even number above/below the plate, and then depending on how low you have the car, that's how much lower you make it... IE more spacers above it.


Can't recall but it should be in the directions. This has nothing to do with the alignment as far as I can tell, but it is more or less setting the compression on the strut so it takes bumps as close to stock as possible.

there should be 4 spacers for each side (that's what I had come with mine) and the way I had them set was half on top half on bottom... Just take a minute and carefully read the instructions, it's really quite simple... sorry I can't help anymore

I'm pretty sure i have one fat spacer on top with 1 fat and two thin underneath. My car is dropped about 1.5 in too.
