Ride Height

[SILICONE KID]

I had a play with my ride height today,lifted the height up around 15mm ..136mm front 152mm rear.The steering is not twitchy,improved the bump steer and just feels nice to drive..I must admit it was rather low but looked good.Im very happy with the result.No more damaged exhaust pipes !So lower the ride height better the handling is a fallacy.!

Well done Daz, it makes all the difference.

You could even go up another 5-10mm tops, especially in a speed bump area.

Keep a 20mm difference keeping the nose down stance, the whole car acts as an aerofoil.

Generally taken from the triangular plates at the outriggers, just behind the front wheels and just in front of the rear wheels.

mine was set up to a similar high ride height by paul at x works when i bought the car off him. Been in other cars with a low ride height and can notice the difference straight away . High ride is much better. But as you say daz the lowered look is better looking its finding a compremise between the 2 that you are happy with

Decided i did not like the yank muscle look so went for 136mm Front 151mm back and drives alot better than 120mm 135mm ..I can get two fingers between the arch and tyre and three fingers at the back.

does changing spring height affect any other suspension settings?

For the small amount, I don't think so, someone may correct me on that.
