THE RIDE HEIGHT BROTHERS

"Sorry, Cap'n - we woulda had them bank robbers but we had to angle crawl over the speed bump at the end of the drive-through lane!"

Coming to a drive-in theater near you.
Whichever floats your boat lol, I am too young to know ANY of those dazzling duos other than bad boys, simply bc of the 965. I would say martin and will, but i am white, so that doesnt work. all that was before my time, but none were brothers i assume batman and robin? Of course id be bruce, bc robin has no purpose in life!

Love te stance low!!!

Our heigjt is the same, unless i take the front down more, justto hear more people complain abt the height not being track-able!

As you say it isn't accurate but I've measured mine for you and I'm 625 mm rear and 635 mm front. You've got nearly a whole half inch on me boy!

Thing is a full tank can loose 7mm, plus luggage and 2 people, and settlement , so it changes a lot, .........A guy locally and Rennlister has 610 up front, but tyres seem lower profile than mine......

Very true. My official readings with a quarter tank were 120 mm front and 223 mm at the rear. i.e. I'm RS height at the rear and 5 mm lower at the front. My initial caster was set at 4 35 at the front but I was getting rub on one of the wheel arch liners so this was reined back to 4 25. We subsequently found that the rub was caused by a bent wing (fender) stay. Now this has been sorted I may try the 4 35 again because it gave a much nicer weight to the steering....And before our friend A964man asks ;-) ..I didn't write down the camber and toe measurements but I think they're standard C2

How much harsher is the ride when you slam it? I'm running 18's and the ride suffers slightly. I like the low look but don't want it to ride like rock if I lower it.

My car rides exactly the same as it did before, Its slightly, literally SLIGHTLY stiffer, not bouncy, not bumpy, doesnt rub etc----I cant tell a difference other than the fact now it doesnt look like a 4x4, you def need to lower the front for sure

alabama huh? Thats where I drove to get my boxer, all the way from Tampa, there are some badass driving roads there!

Mine is fine...ok you do have to watch the pot holes, and mine is set hard....but I want a racing car not a family tourer. Its not as good on the rough but better on the smooth.........but it looks great now.

Go Low............

Hi guys,

I run KW V3 quite low with 18" it is much harder, not that I mind but geo, setting and tyre pressure(34/36 for me) is more tricky, bump steer is more noticable.
