Has anyone done any testing to determine how low you can go without adversely affecting the handling? I did a forum search and didn't find anything. My car is right at 27.25" to the fender, front and rear, with 275/35-20 tires. I'd like to go lower, but my car's sole purpose is maximum cornering...
In my opinion, you're WAY overthinking this. But the solution you're looking for is to look up a video of someone airing out their S550 on bags. You can easily see how the wheel moves when the suspension articulates. :thumbsup:
Yes, that's correct. I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question. A little bit of preload on my existing springs would raise my car up to the height you're looking for.
Mine sits as low as it will go with springs this stiff. There is no preload, so if I adjusted the collars down, the springs would be loose when the suspension unloads. That's not desirable.
Softer springs would allow the car to go lower, but would be less ideal on the racetrack. But the...
I don't have a number, but I can tell you it's A LOT!! I like a lot of negative camber because I tend to corner pretty hard. I have my camber bolts adjusted halfway between straight up and all the way cambered in, and it looks to be between -2.5* and -3*.
No noise at all out of mine. And I'm very sensitive to new noises and rattles. Not that the noises bother me, but I just hear every little thing.
It can ride as cushy or as stiff as you want it to. Soft springs and damping turned all the way down would ride soft and comfy like stock. Stiff...
If this question was directed toward me, I slid the struts back for max caster and I eyeballed about -3* camber. I haven't gotten it aligned yet.
I added anti seize to the spring collars, but not to the little screws. I can go back and do that when I get the car back apart next week. (more...
Hose ends are 5/8" Barbed fittings. You can pull the hose off of one end, cut the hose to whichever length is aesthetically pleasing, and push the hose end back in. This only takes a minute or two.
I'd take you out for a spirited drive so you could check them out! I just don't know when we'll be at the same place at the same time. I go to a lot of shows year round, but I only drive to the shows in Florida and Georgia.
Ha! I was referring to Josh using high pressure sales tactics when he texted me pics of your car. I loved it!!
But hey, we'll take care of you if you need anything. ;)
