Next project... Pedders XA coil overs, White Line front control arms, and Brembo 4 piston brakes, front and rear

I'd just wind the bottom adjuster in 2" if it was me looking at that pic.

Ok... I am a newbie with coilovers. Goal is to have a slight rake front to back, and approximately an inch of gap between the fender and tire. I am going with a 275/35-18 tire in the rear so I need to make sure it doesn't rub. Gonna keep with the 245/40-18 up front. I appreciate the info.

265 35 18 is the correct rolling diameter and so much cheaper then a 275.

I've got 235/40 and 265/35 on mine.

Honestly man it's already pre loaded now and the bottom seat adjusts nothing but height. Just wind it in as far as you want it to come down.

Hopefully I can get some time to mess with it this weekend.

. Can anyone tell me what the factory heights should be and recommend some numbers to start with?

From centre of wheel to top of wheel-arch, mine is 350mm front, 360mm rear with 1/2 tank of fuel.
Gap between top of tyre and wheel arch is about index finger with the same size tyre as yours.

I messed with the ride heights a couple of weeks ago. You could almost squeeze 2 fingers between the tire and fender. Now, it is just 1 finger up front, 2 in the back. Didn't think it would settle that much that fast. Gonna leave it alone for now. I am shipping a pair of wheels today to a shop to get widened 1.5 inches. I was told 3 to 4 weeks lead time. Gonna stalk the Black Friday/Thanksgiving sales for tires.

More to come...

1 finger in the front 2 in the rear is a little different to what I'm used to.

I hope your treating her like the queen she is.
