Stock ride height on Gen 3

[sidwin]

Would someone with stock suspension go measure how high their ride is by measure the front and rear wheel wells? I just put some coilovers on. My front is 27 and rear is 30.
Simple installation tip would be if your rears are blown use a 4 inch cutting heel and cut off the fork base. Much easier to get off.

Moog front don't fit. Only reads do. Thanks to chuck Tator for sending me boots.

Thanks - Sid

I've checked both sides of my car. There is a slight difference in height so the car may not be parked level

Front is 26 3/4" driver side, 27" passenger side
Rear is 28 3/4" driver. 29" passenger

Your fronts seem ok, rears seem an inch high compared to mine, however they may settle down(?)

Did you tighten your rear lower shock mounts with the suspension compressed as opposed to it hanging down?

My 2003 was 26.5 front & 29.0 rear.......Stock. Lowered now to 25.5 and 27.75 respectively.

thanks guys. that was exactly what i needed. i didn't want to start off low then have the suspension settle me down even further. after the car gets painted, i'll bring her down a little more.

thanks,
Sid

Yall aren't low enough. If your gonna do adjustable coilovers then go low :)

Damn that looks good

[Bmw2nv2000]

Thanks freedom. I never have posted pics of my yellow car so I just posted a couple in the pic thread. Oh my car is at 25" front and 26-1/4" rear

That is LOW. Like not get out of my driveway low. And Tucson roads should kill it even if I could. Looks great though.

If I ever lowered my ACR that low it would rip the splitter off of it the first time I went up my driveway. It looks cool though.

I think there is such thing as too low on a high end sports car like the Viper. Personally, it's too low for my taste but to each his own!

Sidwin...if you didn't install the suspension under load, that can have an effect and cause other problems as well.

[sidwin]

Aftermarket suspension sits lower than stock. To install it, I jacked up the hub to reach the shocks. Then I used the spanner wrenches to extend the shocks. Isn't that how everyone installs their suspension ?
