yeah there is, all i do is count the rins up from the bottom, hasn't failed me yet, and its really cool to be able to change your ride height whenever you want

i myself have GC's and Tokiko blues, and i'm happy with them and have been for a year now

hmmm, i wouldn't be able to say now, i think i got the whole set for like 500 from ardperformance.com maybe? but i'm sure there are better prices around than that, check out the best buys or classifieds section too

by the way, newtown square is pretty close to where iam, is that the same area?? i'm in havertown

You can also use a tape measure and measure from the shock perch to the GC spring perch. Just have to measure from the same point on the front, side to side and back, side to side. Pretty easy actually.

That is why I do NOT like springs. If the drop comes out uneven which I've seen numerous times, your f**ked!

It's trial and error. The drivers side always seems to sit a little lower since there is more weight on that side. It took me a few times going back and forth before I had it set perfect. After I had it set I never adjusted them again for the 7 months I had them. Sold them on ebay last year.

I plan to get Tiens this time around
