I need help with RoadsterSport Suspension Package spring perch

Post by KennethP934 »

2017 RF Launch
Need help please

Daily summer driver auto cross, and mountain twisties. Getting ready to drop in the super charger

I know it's the weekend but wanted to get this out there.

RoadsterSport Suspension Package
Installed and started at top perch on all as it's the RF and that is in the notes.
It's tall, as I figured but more than expected for what is said top was about stock hight, and it's way above the others.
I loaded everything before I torqued stuff, for bushings

I am dropping it down but confused as there are more adjustments notches in back than front and they are spaced different. I understand a bit of rake for my fat ass and fastback is a good thing but just unsure what to drop it too, and if they are supposed to be at same adjustment front and back there is another notch, and the back are different as you see.

Anyway pics attached of fronts and backs and where it's sitting now.

I'm changing rims but like the 215s I run but may go up a little
I don't want something slammed to the ground here with New England roads but would like to fill the wells, I feel like I'm in a monster truck with great suspension.

I don't think I fucked anything putting it in

What adjustments do I use?

Thanks in advance
