Righto, so i've got rear Hi Los (only), That's nice, it's different, it's unyooosual.

What would be the best height to set it to for handling purposes
Considering I've got stockie shocks, and i don't have hi lo's on the front.

What's the best way to measure ride height? From ground to Wheel Arch, tire to wheel arch..etc...

How often do you carry people or stuff in the back ? Basically find your favourite "mini suitable" road and have a good thrash on it . Keep lowering the rears bit by bit until they start bottoming out on the corners and then put them back up a smidgen .

Till they look level and look good . It all depends on how good your rubber cones and shock's are . Put it at a level that you think looks good and give it a thrash and see if it bottoms out .

something like that , give it all time to bed in as well and then see what you think with it , lower it if it still feels a little high .
