ride height

[niccy b]

After turning up a silverstone i have realised that my car is sitting very high in comparison to every1 elses?
Is there a set height? or can i just lower mine to what i want? it also doesnt have a front splitter, any ideas where i can get 1?

Thanks, Nic

There's one in my shed gathering dust.

Stock ride height, according to the US build manual, is 5" at the front and 5.5" at the rear. Heights are measured from the ground to the chassis at the centerline of the wheels. When I set ride height, I usually weight the car with the driver's weight in the seat, and an average amount of fuel (half tank), and do the measuring/adjusting with the car on a level surface. If you don't have slip plates, you'll need to roll the car forwards and back, and bounce the suspension after making any ride height changes.

Have you got a Roush exhaust?

When mine was fitted they jacked my car up! something about rollcentre of the car!!
I had a full geo done sraight afterwards, best modification I had done (after having the standard shocks re-built).

Tux - How much are you looking at for a full geo ? I was thinking about www.centergravity.co.uk as they are down the road from me.
