After buying the car about 6 mths ago (and a few minor mods later) here are my official forum intro photos ...

Heights:
Front R = 120mm (RS-5mm)
Front L = 115mm (RS-10mm)
Rear R = 228mm (RS+5mm)
Rear L = 228mm (RS+5mm)

sml, a lot of work went into your car. Glad all the offsets and alignments worked out. Thanks for sharing and following up. The car looks sweet!

Have you had a chance to adjust the JIC's? What are your impressions?

sml

Just changed shock settings today from 1 to 9 .... but haven't driven the car yet.

Advice from JIC via email ...
for street front 10~15 rear 12~15. 1 is hardest 15 is softest.

Tips ...
Rear adjustment ... no need to use the little JIC allen key. Just reach in and turn the ****. I was able to reach both sides without removing the airbox and without removing the blower - although it was super-tight and have a few small scratches on my arms now!

Why are the fronts at different heights?

sml

Good question! That was the result from the 'expert' mechanic. Hmmm. Might need to adjust again myself. I didn't bother with the corner weighting, but I did ask for all the levels to be correct.

Can you share the source of your graphics? I'm looking to replace mine with the newer font.

Thanks!

looks great!!

sml

Maybe it is to allow for my bodyweight in the Front Right corner?

Looks great but I think you could be in for some interesting bump steer moments by going lower than RS height

sml

Just went for a drive this morning with the new shock settings.

Results .. a surprising noticeable difference. At the stiffest setting which I had been using for the past few weeks, it had crossed my mind that the suspension was too stiff. Now with the shock adjustment at '9' whilst driving to work today, I thought perhaps I should have gone for the stiffer cup 600 & 800lb springs.

It's hard to quantify the impact of the change from the shock adjustment, but the change is more noticeable than expected. It sort of feels like it has changes from an overly stiff rock hard track car to a extra firm sports car.

Somebody else had mentioned that RS-10mm was acceptable and there is no bump steer, so that was my target.

At RS-10mm with no wheel alignment, there was some mild bump steer, albeit it would have been acceptable to me.

At RS-10mm after the wheel alignment, there is zero bump steer. It is tempting to go lower.

Have you tried RS-10mm? What was the outcome?

Mine was originally set to RS specs all round (alignment and height when the KW3s were fitted). Absolutely fantastic on a smooth race track but very skittish at the front on the road when hitting holes and bumps. Now set at RS+5mm all round and is a lot more composed.
