As you move your spring collar up, your car will go up higher as well. But it's not a 1 to 1 ratio. Meaning if you want to move your car up an inch you will move the spring collar up by less than an inch -- maybe three-quarters, maybe two-thirds, but you get the idea. That's on my car, though. Your car's spring to results ratio will be different, but still similar.

EDIT -- After getting your ride height perfect you should do final adjustments with your car on scales. Getting your corner weights just right makes a tremendous difference in the way the car drives.
