I recently installed Gc/Eibach/Konis. Since I had no guidelines initially, I guessed at how far to thread the perches up/down. I set them too low, and rubbed the fenderwells. I measured from the ground to the top part of the fenderwell through the center of the rim. The fronts were 1/2" higher than the rears, but symetrical side-to-side.
While this looked pretty good, it would not serve me well at the Dragon this weekend, so I raised the perches two complete turns at each corner. And yes, I made sure I spun the perch in the correct direction(it's marked clearly on the GC perch(collar). The result:
Driver front: 25.25"
Passenger front: 25.75"
Driver rear: 25.00"
Passenger rear: 25.25"
The car had been on stands for 3 days, but has been on the ground for almost 24 hrs. Is this possibly normal? The spring rates are the same at all four corners(380's). Thanks for any responses. I'd feel much better if I could put this to rest before leaving Friday AM for Tennessee.

It will not ever be perfect. Your car (even if corner weighted) will have different amounts of weight on each tire (compounded by things like with driver or without, empty or full tank of gas, degree of suspension preload on each wheel, swaybar binding etc). And besides, your frame is bent from your earlier reentry and landing
