Just upgrade the suspension to my track car. Pretty psyched about the new adjustable koni's upfront with 350# springs. Put in 30mm rear torsion bars with delrin bushings. What a PITA! Still need to adjust them again, but I am sure it will be easier the second time around. I need to adjust the right rear 1/8".

From the factory measuring points of the castor block bolts upfront and the flat part of the torsion tube in the rear, here are my measurements:

FL 4 7/8 FR 4 7/8
RL 8 RR 7 7/8

What is a good ride height for the track? Any minimum ride height that should not be exceeded? Oh I am running the steel control arms upfront.

25 inches from the ground to center top of wheel well is about as low as you can go before you start to really stress the ball joints.... I have my track car at 24 inches.

Also, if you are gonna have the car corner balanced dont worry about adjusting that 1/8th of an inch in the rear.

First thing. Take rubber bump stop on the front struts can cut it in half. Then install and shoot for 4" at the rockers. From there corner balance. That will work well and is close to what most 944 spec cars run. I am assume th car is stripped out?

Is the Koni bump stop too big? I can cut that off a little later, but want to get the setup completed first.

My driver side fender is screwed up, so it is a little tough to measure from there. That is why I was using the factory body locations to measure. Just want to get it close before I corner balance.

Car is stripped with a rebuilt engine and new clutch. Ready to hit the track.

If you run at 4" to the rocker the competition bumpstop is too big. Cut it now as it is easy off the car. You don't even want to try on the car. If you run at 5" you can probably leave it.

My 944 spec runs at 4" with cut bump stop.

Struts have been mounted on the car. Will have to take them off to cut, but no big deal. Will measure from the rocker when I get home.

Thanks
