Coilover Ride Heights

[CarRacer]

Last week I worked on getting the weight percentages worked out on my cars suspension.

I'm running Ksport coilovers.

I got the front tires as even as possible to each other and did the same for the rear. Everything turned out great, although I was unsure what height to run. I measured 13.5" roughly from the center of the hub to the fender on all 4 corners.

This car will be driven on the street.

I looked underneath and the two subframes that run front to back didn't seem too low. What are others running and where are you measuring ride height?

Thanks.

I'm between 25-1/4" to 25-5/8" at all corners, road to fender lip. That's roughly 1/2-3/4" higher than when I was tracking the car. But this is also with 40 series tires. With my snow setup, I've got another 1/2" in height.

As I'm sure you well know, give your springs some miles to settle before getting it corner weighted and aligned exactly.

To be able to compare somewhat accurately, the measurement needs to be taken from the center of the hub to the fender, not from the ground. A 40series tire height depends on tire width and also how much air is in the tire.

It's pouring out now...

Nice and sunny here. I just took 1051 out for a drive. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
