Default I Need some pointers. Please

Ok here is my prob im currently installing some Skunk2 Sport Shocks w/Skunk2 Coilovers.But the thing is i really dont know **** about coilovers or droping ones car.How do you measure your drop?Is it the higher the coil goes the lower the drop or viceversa?Sorry about the noobness but i really dont know **** when it comes to suspension.If anyone can share some input i would greatly appreciate it Thanx.Oh yeah one more thing the rubber things i only used one of the ones that came on the package.As in i kept the top one Oem and the bottom rubber Skunk2.Would this be a problem?

No, it is the lower the spring perch is on the sleeve, the lower the car will be. The best thing to do is start with a nearly stock ride height, let the car down to get an idea of how much lower you want it, jack it back up and spin the perches down until you get your approximate desired drop.

As for the bumpstops...ONLY use the one skunk2 provided you, or cut the OEM one in half.
