Default GAZ Coilovers - anyone running them?

Hi guys,

I have just purchased and fitted a set of GAZ coilovers and was wondering what a ball-park setting was before driving the car out of the garage e.g.

1. Height of the platform for the Fronts say from the bottom thread or where ever peeps measure from
2. Height of the platform for the Rears say from the bottom thread or where ever peeps measure from
3. Stiffness of the top adjuster on the Fronts
4. Stiffness of the bottom adjuster on the Rears

Also do you still run the standard bumpstops on the rears??

And... How much thread sticks out from the top of the struts at the Front, I got about 30mm measuring from the nut, is this right?

Appologes for all the questions but I don't want to have it set up all wrong and do any damage before driving it around

Had some downtime, Cossie needed some work. Hopefully Saturday I should be all MOT'd and TAX'd up and back on the road ready for Ford Fair. Had me Wolf Alloys painted slightly different, rims painted 'Reflex Silver' with the spokes painted 'Titainium', looks pucker IMO, will post pictures up as soon as I get it out of the garage
