Stiffness is adjusted to 3 position front and back.

Kinda depends on how tall your tires are. A car with 26" tall tires will look better sitting lower than a car with 27" tall tires.

I am running TTII's on my '69 with 245/45R17 tires with a VB 330 composite spring with 10" bolts and was able to get 27" on all four corners.

Sounds nice looking. but is it not desired to have the car slightly lower in front, than at the back-
