4 "guys" in the garage!

Adjust ride height first. Rear suspension has to be loaded; i.e. stands under the axle with the car's weight on the springs.

Thanks Jeff.
I need to do some research on 'normal' height and get one of those wrenches to adjust the koni shocks.

"Normal" is about 4 1/2" + or - 1/4" or so. No wrench needed; with the weight off of the springs the collars can be turned by hand.

Your final ride height is going to be in the 4-inch range, floor to bottom of the 4-inch tubes. Often a little more in the back, a little less in the front. But they will settle when new. For now, I'd recommend 4-1/2 to 4-3/4 front and back.

You don't need any special wrenches for the shocks. You have two already. On the ends of your arms. Unload the springs with a floor jack when adjusting. Don't try to adjust them under load. Some recommend some anti-sieze on the threads, and green Loctite (the wicking kind) for the sleeve to the body to keep it from turning. I've never done either and not had a problem. But keep an eye on it and do what works for you.
