Cup car ride height
To the forum,
I have given up and ordered up the rest of my suspension (bilstein HD's with H&R greens). Good thing, when I took the front shocks off they could be depressed with one finger and would not come back up.
I was lucky, it took me 3 hours to remove everything.
A huge breaker bar helped and heating the rear bolts up for 3 minutes per with a torch helped immensly.
To my point..... Is there anyway to get the cup car height with this set up and on a C4??
The measurements I have are: Front jacking points at 103mm
Rear jacking points at 122mm
Gas tank 1/2 full
I have 17" wheels if that is a factor.
Thanks!!

964 will have terrible bump steer when you go that low. I also don't think that Bilsteins can be lowered much ..they will bottom out.
The picture of mine is about as low as you can (RS height) 18" wheels go without changing the front uprights.
BTW car is for sale ( sadly)

I have H&R greens and my ride height is set at 24.75" at front and 24.5" rear. This is measured thru the middle of the hub, fender lip to floor...
I am not sure how this relates to RS ride height, but it must be pretty close.

I don't think you can with green springs either. The reds (turbo) are a bit lower than green
this is what I keep tellin people. It's not a mileage thing either; not for normal street cars.
