Lowering springs on a HP car.

[VictorH]

Here's another one for the database. My car, all stock, with Cup2, 2,000 miles, have camber set at -2.5 up front (stock camber plates). I would not want my car any lower. Interesting how much variability in ride height. Yes, it's just a little bit below 4 1/2", closer to 4 3/8". (not sure why my photo got rotated)

Don't forget to measure with driver and passenger weight in the car. That may change it some as well.

Did you have to change the bumpstop, it’s my understanding that it’s not needed/required with magride?

Not required for Magneride.

I see a lot of the ride height measurements here are at the front splitter, but true ride height is measured at the frame. The likely difference between HP and non HP is the splitter design IMO, since Ford lists overall height of the models (ex GT500) being the same.

My PP2 sits at 5 1/8" (front splitter) with BMR handling springs, but I'd venture a guess that all magneride cars sit at the same frame height relative to spring selection. The variables are wheel and tire combos.

Except the discussion was about clearance with particular springs/wheels/tires.

Height of the frame is not that important, it's all those bloody ramps, speed bumps and curbs everywhere where splitter touches first.

The way I read it, it sounded like the OP wanted comments about lowering a Mach I HP.
