I couldn't tell you exactly how much im lowered right now, probably almost two inches or so but these things still have alot of thread left. with the dual ajustability it still has a ways to go. i could probably almost sit the frame on the ground.

The top ring is the spring preload -best set by a suspension place if you want the best results. preload can be adjusted for each corner to cornerweight the car,and also to change ride height is it's your only adjustment on the strut.

The bottom ring is for ride height,which is varied by changing the overall length of the strut.
