Discussion
Ill measure how high up my ducts are as theyre cup ducts.
I know that some bit by the wheel is meant to be 75mm off the deck.
For those with a normal splitter, how high is your or have you lowered the car?
Or alternatively, for those with cups, how high does the main pu sit?
Just trying to figure out if i need sus rebuild sooner rather than later

About 5ft.
It's hanging off the garage wall as I'm fed up ripping it off coming in & out of my drive
You need to use the old Jedi trick for driving a GT3 up a cambered, sloped driveway without losing the front splitter...It's hanging off the garage wall as I'm fed up ripping it off coming in & out of my drive

Thats basically what I look like getting up the drive! Still end up catching it sometimes though! It's interesting how there is almost no droop on the front wheels when lifted. Though mine is running stiffer springs.

It'll be the rears that sag first with all that engine weight over it.I know that some bit by the wheel is meant to be 75mm off the deck.

The rears will need refurbing at 40k for sure. Around £100 a corner at Bilstein and get a corner weighting/geo done at the same time at CG

Our version of front axle lift

Your ride height looks very very low. Droop isn't affected by the stiffness of the springs, only the travel of the damper. Either your dampers have pretty much zero travel (are they OEM?) or your ride height to start with is ridiculously low.It's interesting how there is almost no droop on the front wheels when lifted.

I assumed the springs would affect the droop...but yes, she is not running OEM dampers...Nitron 3 way adjustables. Dual springs at each corner and the springs rates are approx double stiff. Plus the ride height is lower with a fair amount of rake. I'll try to measure the front height at some point tonight...optical view below..
Interestingly I have had very little issue with the ride height with respect to front splitter. I guess you become better at spotting an offending bump or dip.

Yeah, think mine are on the way out though having a high nose does help getting it in/out of the garage .The rears will need refurbing at 40k for sure. Around £100 a corner at Bilstein and get a corner weighting/geo done at the same time at CG
Spoke to CG earlier, 2 month waiting list but cant decide on sticking with OEM or going with Ohlins or PSS10's...
