Default coilover adjustment problems

what's the proper way of measuring each shock to ensure that they are all lowered correctly/equally?

Get to a level surface (preferably cement/concrete parking lot).

Use a tape measure.

Measure from bottom of fender to the ground or bottom of fender to the center of the wheel.

or

Do it the easy way and use your fingers.

^^^What he said.

I accually cut out a block of wood that fits between the perch on the shock and the bottom of the twisty things on the coilover sleeve.
