Just curious. Had mine done recently. Not sure if I'm totally satisfied with my current ride height. It looks pretty good, but I think I'd like to get another half inch lower front and rear.

What do yours measure out to (measuring from the ground, through the center of the wheel, to the bottom edge of the fender in inches)?


I am currently at about 25.5 in the front and 26 in the rear. bilstein recommends no more drop than 35mm front and 25mm for the rear. stock ride height on the c2 is 27.

Just curious if I could get away with a little more without ending up on the internal bumpstops. I know this can be an issue with the Bilsteins if you go too low.

 

anybody???

come on, it'll only take a minute to go out to the garage with the ol' tape measure

 

Are you running bigger tires Dog? My stock setup on my 99 C2 is 26 1/2 front and 26 1/4 back with stock size 18's. Your springs will settle over time. No spare in trunk.

 

funally measured: 25" front 26 1/4" rear

 

boing boing boing ........BOING!

 

i'm running 19's.

 

not at all, thank you very much.

 

Just a bit of trivia........Pcar has spec ride height ranges for all cars (Turbo, ROW, X73, GT3)......they are helpful as a ride height comparo (and helpful for setting rake).
Body measures are not used.
Front measure point is that bolt head to ground (bottom surface of that hexhead tension strut bolt on front suspension).....and rear is that flat spot on the rear subframe (side section between the toe & camber eccentrics).
GT3 for instance is 112mm +-10mmF and 125mm +-10mmR.
This is pretty low........my car is in this range.

 

I measured today 25 1/4 front 25 1/4 rear. I plan on raising the rear up 1/2" front 1/4"

 

I measured mine.... it's about a half of a finger gap both front and back.

 

finger and a half on mine
