What ride height are YOU at? I want to go as low as I safely can without rubbing. Then, I can raise it as I please from there.

Andy STI · 07-22-2007, 07:35 PM

I just increased the front to 14 inches tonight. I found that one side had somehow lowered on it's own. I was a 13.75 all around and this fit my 8.5 inch wheels (et 48) with 255 RA1s. Sucks that I have to take some extreme angles to get onto my driveway without scraping my V-limited.

**evilSTi7** · 07-22-2007, 07:36 PM

i'm at just about 14'' front 13.5'' rear with my Sportlines(i say just about because the corner balance changed the ride height a bit). On the street i was happy with it since i had a little more height than i did with the whitelines.

On the track though i still got tire rubbing inside the fender wall (it sheared off a good portion of that plastic fender liner). I'm on stock wheels and tires, so i don't know what happened. I've heard other people have had good luck with that height though so you might want to try it.

Without me going outside with a measuring tape, how many fingers is that evil/andy?

well, i don't quite remember and my car is in the states (i'm down under right now) but my guess is 2, close to 3 finger front and about 1 in the back.

what wheels and tires are you running these days fuller?

stock wheels and big tires don't go well with a "dumped" car.

14" and 13.75" isn't a bad setting.

if you're looking to run bigger wheels/tires you're going to need to be at 14.25" front and 14" rear.

and remember Toe changes with camber and ride height, so find the right height before you get aligned/corner weighted.

fullerton · 07-23-2007, 04:04 AM

stock wheels/tires here for the foreseeable future.

i know toe will change. right now i have no idea where i am camber wise, but I was sure to set the eccentric bolts the same on each side.

align those bad boys

damn supa baller status !

Preliminary ride height.

skubv8 · 07-24-2007, 01:19 AM

^^^^
w00t!

ok THAT is low.

fullerton · 07-24-2007, 03:34 AM

Think I may lower the front by a thread or two. Need to break out my measuring tape and see where I am at.

I ordered a 12" digital caliper, so I can accurately set ride height and spring tension. Counting threads and eyeing with a measuring tape is not very accurate.

i would agree, but for some reason my mod budget has gotten pretty small as of late.
