Wilson Sasha Spike adjustment help?

I would like some help with regards to the Watt head adjustments. Wilson provided spikes with 4 different heights to tilt the back of the module. I found using no.3 too lean but getting too much bass with no.2! I wondered the best sound should come from the height between 2 and 3, so I used a coin at the buttom to raise the number 2 spikes a bit and it works. Yet, I think this is not the best way so I wonder anyone have played around with those adjustments and if any after market spikes with custom height can be found? cheers.

I am the 2nd owner and my pair is 18 months old. I was still using those wheels before but when I start spiking them to the floor, they sounded totally different. I have to use the longest spikes for the top units now and they are sounding very natural with highs and mids. My equipment: CJ Premier 350, Herron 3A pre, JPS SC3 ic/spk cable and Raven One TT. I think I am getting only 70% of its best with the bass still not as tight as I hoped. Overall, this is by far the best sounding speakers I have owned!

Here's a hint from John at AudioConnection in New Jersey who helped me set up my Vandersteens. I found that using this suggestion greatly increased the focus and 3 dimensionality of my speaker....I presume that it will do the same for yours...... Get a laser pen light (very cheap on the internet), put it on top of one of your seakers and train the red dot on your back wall - behind your seated position. Mind you, you're not interested in aiming the dot at you in your seated position. Put a sticky note (post-it) on your back wall and put a dot with a felt pen where the red laser dot is. Do the same for the other speaker...the goal is to have both dots superimposed on each other. You might have to shim - raise or lower one of the speakers.... Try it...I'm sure you'll be happy.
