    My new ride height, for now at least





    This is how I have it set now, the front is all the way down (GC perch). The rear is barely down at all, and it may even come up. The front is a little uncomfortable on the terrible Toronto roads, it's actually bottomed out on Konis. :shock:

    A new, uncracked is lip will be on soon.

        For the stiffness and flexibility of spring rates. I'm not a ricer.

          Looks good. For some reason your front seems to be higher than mine, although my perch in front isn't all the way down. There's a tiny bit left to go.

          I can't really tell where your rear is, but it seems a little too low, on 'weaves at least.

          Congrats on making your car one more bit like mine. :P

              Do you have 6" fronts though?

              The rear is coming up regardless. The front will soon too, since a lip wouldn't survive at that height (it's now as low as it was with the lip at stock height).

                I too feel for all the way down that isn't low. But whatever turns your crank.

                Jon in the car you lose points.

                edit: the fronts comming UP?

                Sold it.

                  I don't mind the way the front looks, it's just not practical. Especially with the lip on.

                  And why the hell don't you ever come to meets?

                    Yeah 6" but metric equivalent. I'm not sure why there is a difference.


                    Yo, besides maybe E30 M3 offset bushings??? Maybe......

                      You know what, these babies are 5 days old. I'll give it a few weeks to settle.

                      My height = your height BTW.

                          Im poor right now. And my cars being a tool.. all the brakes grab at stupid times so sometimes highway driving is hard. But that should be fixed thursday.

                          Anyway if you get bigger wheels then you will be higher of the ground

                          Sold it.
