did up my suspension, ride height messed up??
Posted: Sun May 24, 2009 11:03 pm
so i installed a set of kyb gr2 struts h&r springs and a whiteline rear adjustable swaybar.
car drives awesome feels like its faster and brakes better because there is less squat, much more corner turn in when on power (feels like the car wants to turn and slide the tail out rather than understeer) and in general significantly less body roll. i still want to upgrade my front swaybar and put the rear on the stiffest setting though.
as for ride height i'm very confused. i double tripple and then quadruple checked the spring numbers and the strut numbers on the board and looking through catalogues so i'm 120% sure everythings right for my model year (1992) buut. the website states the springs lower the car 1" rear, which they did, and 1.25" front which they lowered almost 2" ground clearance is still fine with about 4 or so inches at the lowest point which is in the middle of the car so not even really at the front.
the car looks cool, it has that much more aggressive front squating down look and i like it. (pictures will come i've just been too lazy to give my car a photoshoot lately.
so has anyone else had this problem?
before doing the swap the hub to fender measurement was about 15" front and 14.5" rear now its 13"front and 13.5"rear.
