Ride height question for NC

Post by v67gsr »

My coilcover finally arrived. Now I have the question regarding ride height. I can go from 15mm to 55mm lower than stock. My question is how low any of you have tried before experiencing any scratch on the bottom panels and/or front chin.

That really depends on what conditions YOU face in your daily drive. I seem to clear most speed bumps around here even 2 inches below stock height but my driveway requires me stay closer to 1.5 inches below stock height.

I should call it motion ratio.

Like the amount of wheel movement in related to shock travel.

I did some measurment a while back but I forgot them already.

Thanks anyway

Another question. Do you have to modify the stock shock tower brace mounting inorder to reach the adjustment knob?

I believe some say need to drill a hole.

I simply removed it...because you would need such a hole to reach adjustment knobs on top.
