Default Can someone with Tein basics give me a hand

I just bought a used set of Tein basics. I would like to lower the car 3/4" - 1" w/o having to keep adjusting it. Anyone have any idea what the lengths are on the shock threads to acchieve this drop? Any help is appreciated.

I would try the front up about 1" from the lowest setting and the rear about 3/8" up from the lowest setting.

Thanks man i really appreciate it. I looked on Teins page and see the "recommended setting" is 1" from the bottom on the front, but it never says if thats factory height or any drop at all.

I don't know the exact specs, but the front can be dropped a lot more than the rear. I thought it would look funny with the forward rake, so I slammed the rear and then tried to match the front. The rear set as low as possible only drops a little over 1". I think my front is up about 3/4" from the lowest setting.
