Measured through the wheel centerline it sits at just under 24.75" front and right at 25" rear.

Thanks! Do you have any issues with scraping in the front? How do you like the Ohlins set up? I'm leaning toward H&R Street Performance coilovers which should give that much drop.

Your car looks great.

Thanks, the lower lip on the front does scrape occasionally. I may raise the perches a turn all the way around the next time I have the wheels off. The Ohlins have pretty high spring rates and it does have an aggressive ride. I would like the spring rates a little softer for a mostly street driven car.

Hi Mlee2122 and Turnstile,

Your cars look great! Do you have the H&R street performance coilovers? What is your ride height? How do you like the feel of your suspension? I am leaning in that direction.

thanks,
Jim

Jim, yes it's the street performance coilovers. mine is set at 25.5", it was the lowest ride height that i could set without adjustable lower control arms.....set with rear -1.2 degree camber and front -0.7 degree camber. it's a good ride height.... can crawl over most speed bumps without scrapping but low enough not to have too much wheel gap. Had it low as 24.5" but had too much camber and was starting to wear out the rear tires.

Rides firm but not harsh. I've taken long trips without discomfort. Even the wife thinks it's acceptable. the shock dampers do a great job of softening the bumps and keeping things from being harsh. you'll like the coilovers.
