Photochop 20mm out of the ride height of my car pic and that will give you the answer :D

This is a pic of the legal hight that Fulcrum set my car up as, when they were doing the testing. They originally set it up as flat but the guys agreed that it just looked wrong, so the rear is a little bit higher then it could be. I am sure it could sit on the bump stops if required, but I much prefer to be able to drive the car.

The 'Ted' review is mostly covered here

I am still happy with my setup with not many adjustments to the settings.

This is another shot I found that is the current setup.

Na, the first photo is a Pedders satup that was already on there when I bought the car.

The second one is Koni shocks with Eibach springs. I couldn't justify getting height adjustable as once you find a happy medium, how often are you going to be bothered to take all fours wheels off and adjust it anyway?

The shocks are dampner adjustable but I haven't even touched them since I installed them...
