Default ???? On stance GR+ Coils when car is jacked up

Ok so I lowered the car already, we'll I think too low, I couldn't move the F en car after I put it down on the ground so I jacked it back up so I can adjust the ride height on it, but my question is this is this supposed to be like this even on jacks, cause usually doesn't the suspension hang down? Please if someone could answer I would really appreciate it. Thank you guys.

It's a lil funny but not the kind of answer I'm looking for. Do I have to raise it so when it's jacked like this the suspension drops but when on t.he ground that's when it compresses??? A lil help would be great

No man they're fine, just raise it a little... stiffer set up less shock body movement when jacked up..

I can only imagine the luxurious ride that car provides, especially with those stretched tires.

I have stance pro comps & they have settled. I'm tucked in the front & where I want in the back. Now they need to be stiffer as they've softened in 500 miles. How do I calculate the adjustment. Is one turn of the internal hex 100lbs?? I know to just move the ride height & not mess with the springs. I want to stiffen the internals of the shock in the coil over using a bondis tool (round hex). what is the turn in degrees to the lbs or kg's? Anyone? I want to be very specific with before it's aligned cuz no one drives my car but me. Alignment guy is going to have to do right. Clock wheel to center & use specs shouldn't be too much to ask for someone "certified". No one test drives my priceless Z.
