    Hi all,

    I just got my lift installed not too long ago and I was expecting some drop from the original height when first installed. I noticed so far that I have dropped a half inch and hoping it doesnt drop much more now that it has had some time to settle.

    My main question is, the lift is adjustable coilovers and my curiosity is gaining back whatever had settled and that comes down to two options.

    1. adjust the coilovers to increase the height.
    2. a small top hat spacer like a 1/4 or 1/2 inch.

    Does anyone have some helpful input as to pros and cons between the two options? Such as a spacer would cause a harsher ride or tightening up the coilover would cause a harsher ride? When it comes to preload and the difference between adding a spacer puck vs adjusting the coilover to tighten the coil to achieve the height is not so obvious to me. I know its a small amount but this is purely out of curiosity.
