Just to be clear Ashley there is no ride height adjustment on the SSL RS front kit once fitted. The main spring pre-load adjustment is provided solely to allow zero static pre-load on the rebound spring with no play either. This ensures that the rebound spring is not in play during first part of suspension compression thus avoiding an initial very high spring rate. Also that anti-roll is immediately effective as suspension unloaded, in turn reducing front end bounce. It so allows correction of a weakness in the OE design which cannot allow for main spring settling.

The provided instruction sheet does mention an included 20mm spacer usually fitted immediately below stub axle to maintain ride height. It can be fitted above though to raise ride height.

Finally, fitting may seem onerous but the only fiddly part for me was engaging kingpin bolt with the fine kingpin threads. One side engaged immediately the other not. A suitably short tapered drift helps here to align the parts the bolt has first to fit through.
