Tein SS Ride Height Adjustment

I'm installing my SS and the instructions give a height to set the bottom spring seat. Do you guys know if this is related to a max or min height these can be set at or if it is a recommended height?

Hmm... I'm wondering, is that a limit as to how high I can go (i.e. what's the min distance between the seat and the top of the strut?

I'm looking for a 2.0-2.2 drop in front and a 1.5 drop in the rear.

Thanks.

I must be retarded... can't use a ruler. I measured what I thought was according to the directions, but my car's too high up front. Oh well... that's what the adjustable ride hight is for....
