Default 22 - Ride height

My 22 is all built up now!
but it seems to be really high up. I'm wondering if there is too much re-bound in the shocks? can anyone give me an idea of there ride height (Track ready)

For 0% rebound pull shaft out fully before putting cap on, if you want 50% rebound push shaft in halfway then put cap on etc etc.

doing it with the piston all the way out would be 100% rebound

I had the shaft all way out. Topped it up with oil. Put the diaphragm on then tightened it up.

If i put the shaft half way in, then top up then screw the cap on that should give me 50% rebound?

if the shock is built with the piston all the way out that is 100% as when you push the piston in it will push itself out all the way,

if the shock is built with the piston all the way in that is 0% as when you push the piston in it will stay there,

i dont mind being corrected if im wrong
