I am currently in the process of replacing the springs on my 4200, and thought I would lower it to Gransport height whilst at it. I have a guide from Formula Dynamics to replacing springs, and in this it says that 10 full turns of the adjusting collar = a 15mm drop, which I believe is the difference between a 4200 and Gransport, so I thought I would do this as a preliminary setting before taking it to have final tweeks at a specialist. I did the rears first and both sides were set at the same measurement, (I measured from the bottom of the lock nut on the strut to the last visible thread) and sure enough 10 full turns did equal a 15mm difference. So now I have moved on to the fronts, passenger side first, measurement taken and all is ok, then I moved on to the drivers side and the initial setting on this side is 12mm different to the passenger side! ie measurement on passenger side was 48mm, on drivers side was 60mm. The drivers side showed obvious signs of having been messed with before. so what do I do, set them both to same height or stick with the difference that they were set at? Wondered if they were set like this to compensate for driver only situations, or just been bodged.
