My manual specify 224-228 mm between the spring ends with the LSPV lever pushed all the way forward and vehicle empty.<P>I did play with mine when I lift mine but notice no big difference. The biggest difference I got is when I flush all the flud with DOT 4 brake fluid <P>BTW: I use russell 7mm speed bleeder to bleed my brakes and by far is the best and easiest way to do it.
