New struts - height adjust ring?
so new MB struts have multiple positions to set the spring tension and thus also the height when resting.
is there a factory setting somewhere that shows what it is supposed to be? I'd like to lower my front end slightly using this technique but I am not sure what the factory setting for the sport model was?
I want to assemble my struts prior to removing the current ones to save some time so is this information anywhere?
also - what tools have you guys used to compress the springs? Standard compressors don't seem long enough to compress the spring to reach the threads?

Do you have the Avantgarde option as well as the sport option? Or do you just have the sport option?
