What is your ride height on MSS springs?

I think you need to turn it a little more, hard to tell from the angle.

This is the best picture I could get of what my driver side looks like through the wheel.

Did you use the lower OEM rubber perch? To me it caused too much compression of the spring, so I removed it. I was metal on metal for a little bit and didn't experience any issue with noise or anything. However, I did end up using isolators to not have metal on metal.

I did end up rotating it a touch more to try to get it to sit a bit straighter.

No, I removed the OEM rubber perch as per the MSS instructions. I don't like the metal on metal either, but it's what's called for. Really sick of disassembling it so I may leave it as is for the season and get the isolators for next year. Thanks for all the tips @Strat-Supra

Now I need to go drive it to see how it all settles out and then off for an alignment.

I've driven the car roughly 50 miles since install now and the rear still looks too high.... I set the front to max height and set the rear spring height adjuster roughly to the middle of the collar. The front looks pretty much perfect but the rear height is still a bit too high. Has anyone else struggled with the rear height?

I have the rear at the bottom, experienced the same as you. Bring the bottom of the adjustment ring to about 1/4-3/8" from the bottom of the perch.

What exactly is installed incorrectly?

Yah I'll be lowering the rear a bit for sure.

Is your front at the max height as well?

Haha you gave me quite the scare. I really did not want to take those out again.

Didn't experience the same with the front. Believe it's 1/2 - 3/4 of the way down.

Interesting, and this is what your front looks like installed correct?

 

[Strat-Supra]

Yes, except I didn't use the plastic rings.

I'm losing my mind with these springs.

Front
Max height on the adjustment collar
Car sits ~18mm lower than stock in the front

Rear
Roughly ~13mm distance between the two collars (it's an absolute nightmare to lower the collar with the springs installed)
Car sits ~10mm lower than stock in the rear

I feel like I installed something incorrectly with the front springs. I just don't understand how at max height the front sits 18mm lower than stock... According to MSS at max height on the collar it should be roughly equal to stock ride height. When I drive it everything feels fine, other than an occasional mild clunk that seems to come from the front over very rough pavement/bumps.

Silly question but do Verus camber plates (installed at the same time as the MSS springs) lower the ride height?
