Setting height new suspension

Am adjusting my height for Coil-Overs just installed. Should I add 200lbs to front drivers seat to compensate for my weight when driving?

That depends. Are you 200 lbs? And are you going to have the car corner weighted and seriously track the car? If not, don't bother.

You must have missed the part that says my weight. And yes, I am tracking my car. Seriously.

Springs generally settle 1-2% of the spring length. So adjust a little higher than desired height.

If corner weighting it will be sorted then
