Default Ride Height

My ride height right now from center wheel straight up to fender is 14" in the front and 14.5" in the rear (rear is .5" higher) and am running 350/300 rate springs with -2 front camber, -1 rear camber and 1/16th toe out in the front 0 toe in the rear. Any thoughts on this setup particularly as to the ride height? I know that it's usually the rear that's .5" lower, any reason why this wouldn't work better?

I do autoxs and track days, street rideability is secondary. Thanks for your input

Default Re: Ride Height

most people (including me) would say 14'' front and 13.5'' rear is a good place to start. My guess is that stock the front end is higher than the rear, so you'd want to keep it that way. When you change ride height, you're going to have to get a new corner balance and alignment.
