My goal height is to have about a finger or flush up front and a finger or two in the back. You guys are quite experienced with these coilovers so please be technical and list some pros and cons.
Well, that's odd because I have7" springs up front absolutely as high as they will go, but still only have the gap you specify.

I personally would try the 325 springs up front first. The jiggliness comes from the dampers not totally controlling the spring oscillations. You can get it damned close, but I didn't like the 340s. I might have been able to get it better with more dinking around with damper settings, but I like the 275 s much much better. I just need to get the Koni bumpstops.
