Morning everyone, my coilovers are being fitted today, I know I need them to settle before adjusting but how long do I need to leave them and also when I adjust them what is the proper way with measuring etc , as I'm not to sure how to do that. I know how to adjust but I don't know how to get correct height on each side , any help would be great. :D

What coilovers are they? Don't think you need to let any settle before adjusting.

With regards to setting the height, either measure accurately from a fixed point or mark the lock ring and count the number of rotations from a known set point.
