just wondering what others are using to set the front ride height, or do you just set the front with a coarse ride height setting and then fine tune the rear based on where the front ends up?
Checkout post #30966, that is a picture of Fiber-Lyte front ride height shim adjusters for the 12r5, but they also make the same thing for the older style associated front end as well.
