Re ratio of turns to ride height... each turn is around 1.7mm and you need to use a magnifiction ratio of around 1.6 due to tyre and damper angle so each turn of the upper spring seat should give just under 3mm of ride height change.

			Quoted from SteveB

			"There is a ~0.7 ratio for height adjustments on the damper - ie compress the spring 10mm and you will raise the car 14mm. Make any adjustments to both sides of the car before re-measuring. its worth having a 10mm rake such that the front is 10mm lower than the rear."

			Ideally you would drive the car up and down the road before checking your new height to make sure the springs are correctly seated.
			You will change the camber as a result.
			You will effect the high speed stability of the car, they like 5-10mm of rake front to rear.

			Re ratio of turns to ride height... each turn is around 1.7mm and you need to use a magnifiction ratio of around 1.6 due to tyre and damper angle so each turn of the upper spring seat should give just under 3mm of ride height change.
