Has anyone messed with this at all on OEM suspension? I am down about 100lbs on a 10' GT3, distributed across the front/rear of the car and wondering if the ride height should be changed at all?

I will be re-alinging the suspension this next week, so not worried about that. But curious to know other have done to address that.

 

100lbs - sure it'll move it a bit, but think of your spring rates - you got maybe .125 of an inch in ride height movement with that depending on truly how distributed it was front to rear

Your toe will have moved the most

 

how have you removed 100 lbs?

 

Side mufflers are gone (40lbs or so), lightweight battery (25+ lbs), Sparco buckets over OEM GT2 seats (approx. 39lbs/ea. for GT2's, Evo's are approx. 19lbs/ea., 40lbs approx total).

Brings it to roughly 100lbs. +\-

 

Valid point, curious to see the alignment post install without changing anything.

I'll play around a bit perhaps, but you are probably right that it isn't a huge issue. More so curious if anyone has experience here.

 

just drop it to the bottom lower is better for track use anyway. Better aero/DF benefit, lower CG.

 

 

<<<<< slow and low!

 

I'd say that a proper corner/cross balance and ride height adjustment is your best bet if you are interested. Really, the main function of coilovers is to be able not only to adjust your height, but to do so while setting your balance ratios as you choose. You could balance the car with you in it for better results

I had to do this in school. Have identical front ride heights L/R, identical rear ride heights L/R while maintaining a very specific percentage of weight distribution on each corner, F/R and side to side. If you haven't done it before, it can be a learning curve to getting the correct weight percentages on each corner while not screwing up the ride height side to side!
