Coilover Height Difference

the heights are less critical than the weight on each corner. A really good way to do it is to get the weight as close to 50/50 as possible before

the heights are less critical than the weight on each corner. A really good way to do it is to get the weight as close to 50/50 as possible before hand by moving stuff like the battery, and cutting as much weight as you can, then slap on the coils and set the heights even, check the corner weights and if you have adjustable bar endlinks use them to shift the weight without effecting the ride height, if you dont then use the coils to set the weights even. remember to throw a ballast in the driver seat that matches your weight before doing it too. Of course thats race car, if not race car it's best to get it corner-weighted on the coils if you track, or just set the heights even enough where they won't rub on you if you just drive normally. start with the dampers in the middle settings and make slight adjustments until it feels/corners the best you can get it, full stiff IS NOT the best handling setting.
