i've got the exact same setup and i love it. as far as adjusting the height, have fun! it's gonna take a while for you to get all the corners to be the same height. my advice to you, is to adjust one corner at a time. let the springs settle after you adjust each corner. i had to learn this the hard way.

I'm actually not sure....I had a shop put them in for me..didn't wanna mess with a spring compressor. The following week though, me and my friend put in a coilover setup in his audi a4...but it took 13 hours. Anyhow, the squeaking is coming from the rear, so I don't think it's the front that has the problem. I've tried wd-40'ing a whole bunch in the bushings, and practically all over (not counting brakes...) and it temporarily solved the problem....but it's back .

POint to ponder here-the Ground Control setup includes Poly bushings for the top I think. They will eventually squeak a little and no amount of lube will completely cure it.
