Help with 550 suspension settings

Does anyone have any info on alignment settings for the 550? Also info on the ratios for movement of the shock spring collars and their effect on ride height would be great. Today I discovered that my car sits 1/2" higher back and front on the passenger side, so I want to sort that out and at the same time get the suspension re-aligned.

 

What a great way to spend Sunday, adjusting suspension, then giving the car a much needed polish. While we were at it, I slipped in a set of Pagid RS4-2's to replace the stock Galfers, with Mutul 600 brake fluid and did a transmission oil change. I haven't done the aligmnment, because I don't have the settings yet, but I sorted out the ride heights. Elsewhere on the board a figre of around .8 was given for the ratio between the spring preload collar and ride height adjustment, ie a .8mm movement of the preload collar would result in a 1mm change in ride height. Unfortunately I found out the hard way that it appears to be 1-1 on the 550. Another tip for DIYers, unless you have a hoist, small spring compressors and patience, don't bother. This is a b1tch of a job. The rear only took about 15 min to adjust, but the front was close to an hour all up. The biggest problem was getting a spring compressor to fit, so the tension could be taken of the adjustment collar, so it would turn.
For this sort of thing I prefer doing the work myself, so I know the job has been done exactly the way I want it, in this case however, I will be letting any further adjustments be done during business hours by the boys!

 

I measured from the bottom of the rim to the wheel arch lip. I am running 610mm front and rear. (actually 611 front and 612 rear on the driver side to compensate for my weight while driving.)

 

Up and out, to the bottom edge/lip of the wheelarch. The car was almost 15mm out at the rear standard, even though the collars were equally adjusted.

 

Thanks for the heads up, where were you 3 days ago!!
