    It's best to set them at .85 with the Eibach coils

    1. Depends on whether you are using a lift coil or not. You lift higher with oem coils and less if using coils that already have lift built in like the Eibachs or OMEs.

    2. The TSB will settle a bit & the Taco lean spacer is just for driver side to make it level from right to left up front.

    3. Not necessarily but getting lift without as much compression of the coil will make it ride a bit better depending on your settings on the 5100s. Oem coils you are compressing for lift making them stiffer. Aftermarket coils already have lift built in so they don't need compression to get the lift.

    Every once in a while someone will install the 5100's with the perches upside down. The perch should slide over the collar, locking it in place. If you install upside down, the perch gives you more lift but doesn't lock the collar in place meaning an immediate tear down would be required.
    It should look like this:
