setting preload protech

Hi,

Read through quite a few previous posts on this. I want to set them before I go out and have an impossibly handling car with the wrong settings.

Facts: CEC, Nissan CA18DET. I have 12" long eye to eye Protech dampers. The springs are 300# for the front of the car, and #200 for the rears. Never weighed the corners of the car, but know I should eventually.

If I mount them, and check the ride height all round, screw the collars in so the spring isn't moving, and the ride height is a bit higher on the rears with the car on wheels (duh), will this be a good place to start?

Not looking for professional setup over the internet, obviously; just want a place to start that won't be dangerous for the track or road. Thank you as per usual.

About an inch higher at the back is a good start
