steering and suspension Who Runs Lowering Springs?...i Need Some Ez Measurements Pls:

[jrkoupe]

Just curious..... IE stg 2 numbers preferred..but all welcomed.

 

Front ride ht:

 

the most forward horiz. area of the rocker panel(just rearward of frt wheel well) ,..

 

*****can you measure the horizontal surface of the rocker to the ground ???....******

 

Im guessing we will see numbers from around 7 -9 inches on aftermarket set ups.,,,non coilovers.

 

 

thnx

 

jrk

 

oh...if poss, post a side view pic. I realize we have a stance thread...but it doesnt really give specific info like this. Altho I must say, just from ML's response, and from Igors newly cut HR's, I feel confident in knowing 7- 7.5 " will be the optimal range for my vision on a street car.

Don't have numbers right now bc my car is getting repaired.

Just make sure the measurements come from people with the right tyre diameter.

you are correct....

...but I really just wanted an overall range.....and get a feel for whats out there..

I run 13s.....not many others do...

Well, just for giggles, my car has stock springs cut 1coil, and 165/80-15, sitting at 6.7in (17cm)

[planb]

Stock springs 1 coil cut, 205-50-15 tires: 8 in to hz face of rocker.  Fresh Bilsteins give a bit of lift from the gas pressure.  I can post a pic later when I get home from the evil office.

Sorry, that was a typo, supposed to be 165/80-13 (stock size) .

I went to double check the hight, and it seems my fender is bent down a bit, so the measurement should be 18cm.

Pic for reference: Not the best, but should give an idea.

I measured from the lowest edge behind the wheel well.  6.25"  IE Stage II with half a coil cut, Bilstein Sports, BBS RZ 14" with 195/60/14.
