wrxwgn03- when I had my Whiteline Group 4 Coilovers on my WRX, the ride height range was stock level height all the way to 50mm lower than stock for both the front and rear.

For the front, adjusting the helper spring perch all the way to the bottom yielded a 50mm drop which was the most Whiteline suggested you can lower the front without adversely affecting the handling characteristics.

As for the rear, having the helper spring perch set all the way to the top of the adjustment range gives you stock height.

I had my coilovers set up with the front all the way to the 50mm lowering height and the rear lowered approx. 1/3 of the way. This yielded a fender to center of the wheel measurement of 13.5" on both the front and the rear.

For any other questions, do not hesitate to e-mail Whiteline directly (you can find their contact info on www.whiteline.com.au). Hope this helps and have fun with the G4s...I absolutely loved mine.

I have them on an 05 Sti and I just dropped the height about an inch - nice ride , great handling and I have the settings on the shocks kinda low middle
