    I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a set of 6112s to replace my 5100s with OME 885 coils, however I'm not sure what clip setting to order them in. I like the height that I'm sitting with my current setup, so I want the 6112s to be as close to this as possible. Does anyone have firsthand experience with switching from 5100s to 6112s? I've looked at the ride heights on the website but I'm not sure how they translate over to actual height. Thanks for any help!

    I "think" I may have figured it out. It appears from everything that I've read online that the numbers #8/#10 clip settings will be ideal to achieve around 2.25" of lift height which is pretty much on par with OME 885 coils. I can always adjust if needed but I'd prefer to not go through all of that. Bilstein recommends the variance in clip settings between the two assemblies to account for the "Taco lean", so I can ditch the 1/4" spacer that I currently have.

    It's still in my plans, I just don't know how soon. Trying to justify the $1k for them right now.
