suspension drop

alright so im looking to get a koni yellow strut/eibach spring setup. the only problem is i dont know how i need to look at getting it. when i swapped the sr and dropped power steering and a/c, the front end of my car started riding several inches higher. if i order my suspension passed on a 92 240sx hatchback, i will still have a gap. should i order it based on a 92 180sx? i know the koni's have a 3 step perch so going with a 3" drop in the front would allow me to set it as a possible 2" , 3", or 4" drop (or something to that nature) depending on whatever looks best.
what did most of you guys have to do to get the right setup for what you were trying to do?

Sorry bro, no honda suspension round here.. the Koni yellows are not the type seen on the honda's with theAdjustable spring perch...

Instead, they (koni) uses an insert for the front strut. No adjustable perch, sorry.

are not adjustable in height?

The set that's pictured might have adjustable spring perches, but the set that's pictured also will NOT fit a 240. The fronts might, once they're in the stock housings, but the rears are the wrong mounting style. I think it's just a generic "look, we sell Konis" type picture.

When they say adjustable, they're talking about damping, if I'm not wrong.
