What is your ride height?

[Savage Talon]

I'm curious to see what the 1G guys are using for ride height. Where are you measuring it at? From the ground to the lip of the fender through the center of the wheel I am at 25.5" front and 26" rear. I just did all the bushings and the toe eliminators, I'm looking for a good track day setup that I can get back and forth to the track on.

Having a suspension that is tuned for track has nothing to do with ride height. Each type of track has a differt tuning (IE: autocross, drag, & road course). Also depends on what kind of tires ans what size rim you run. Each driver has there own requirements to the tune as no two people drive the same.

What kind of suspension do you have. I assume coil overs. Are they adjustables?

JIC fla2, It was just a simple question to the 1G guys about their ride height. I realize there is a lot more to it then just how low your car is.

I was not trying to offend you. The way you wrote it looked like (too me) you were wanting to know ride height to use to make your suspension work for track/DD purposes.


I never got around to messing with my supsension on my 1gs so I was stock height.

This is kind of a hard question to answer, and you can't really reply with an idea answer because unless you actually model how your roll couple (distance between center of gravity and roll center) changes when you lower or raise the car, you might in fact be transferring more weight and handle worse. I just run stock ride height.

Rereading my post I can see how the last sentence would lead you to believe that, however that is not what I intended to say.

I don't know the measurements, but I do know you should be measuring from the center of your hubs to the fender. my .02

I measured the lowest stock corner from stock springs and lowerd 3/4 " with my ground controls. Then I cornered balance the car. I have 375# front and 275# rear spings
