Default Coilover suspension

i am about to buy a set of coilover shocks with springs, not the cheap coilover from ebay.but with the built-on coilover on the shocks. and they are height adjustable by a wrentch. i am thinking buying skunk2 pro c coilovers.my question is , is there a scale or something on the coilovers that clearly identify how low the car is going to be adjusted or ?
i have to remove the wheels to adjust the height of the car ,right? i have never use coilover before.so thanks for the help

umm..there are "rings" you can count to pretty much work off of as a template for the other 3 shocks/springs - could be wrong, but thats what ive always heard how people adjust and set their coilover setups

no, there's no formula that tells you 4 turns=1 inch.

I don't think you'll have to take the wheel off, but at the very least you'll have to jack the car up.
