compressing springs

[l1ttle_d3vil]

i've got some ae85 struts and springs etc and am wanting to get the springs compressed so i can put the setup into my ke35.

so will I need to put one of the struts into my ke35 first and find out the standard ride height, then tell the people how much I want them compressed by?

or should I be able to tell them the ride height I want my car at with these springs in and they can do it? im thinking this might be possible but it may not be very accurate without them knowing first how high the car is.

i'm thinking if it was out of an ae85 and going back into an ae85 they might have the specs for that car and how all the weight effects the height etc etc...

any ideas?

cheers.

my mate got standard ke30s compressed 50mm and they where just not captive. 2-4mm of play.
