My DONK was sitting at about 1-1/4" lower than stock ride height.

Looks good to me. I found my paperwork. Mine was set at 26-3/4". Nice to see I'm not the only one driving a DONK. Maybe we should form a club. We can do some rock crawling.

Lol. Not sure why my car looks lower than yours though (other than yours being all black) �� What wheel/tire sizes are you running?

Exact same specs as yours.

I thought you said you could only go 1/2in. lower than stock or you would rub. LMAO.



Here's what you posted:

That's my problem. I can't lower it on 19's, even a smidgen, especially with 35f/30r. With 20's I gain 3/4" in ride height from tires and then I can lower it 3/4" to 1" with suspension and get it back to stock or a smidgen lower than stock ride height. If I stayed at stock ride height with 35f/30r 19's the fender to tire clearance would be huge and really look goofy. Just my opinion. One trade off for another. I can't have the best of both worlds. There are a lot more wheel and tire combos available in 19's, I would much rather be on them. 20's just work better in my situation.

My suspension was done 2 years ago. I couldn't remember what the specs were. I found my paperwork and it showed 26-3/4". That's about an inch lower than stock ride height. And it did rub and if I backed straight out of my parking spot it would high center. And why are you so concerned about ride height, suspension set up is paramount.

I know the 19” sport rays have been discussed to death already but I spent 2 hours reading forum posts and I’m only more confused than when I started. So if someone could just tell me what to do I would appreciate it.

I hate understeer far more than oversteer (I actually enjoy being able to whip out the back). I don’t mind the car feeling darty. I have 20mm+25mm spacers if necessary

Options are:
255/35
295/30
The “safe” choice that I will go with if no one can help. These seem to be somewhat popular however, I really don’t want to increase stagger and induce even more understeer.

265/35
295/30
Less popular choice, but I have no idea what sort of issues I would have running this

Lastly,
265/35
285/35
Some people run this, but opinions seem to be all over the place.

Go wide as you can on the front. Think nothing less then a 275 if you are that worried about understeer.

A 275 on a 9" wide wheel?

Rim range is 9 to 10 inch. 9.5 being the sweet spot. Depending on which tire. I prefer the Mich PS4S.

right now mostly stock suspension (just got a front sway bar which I'm still playing around with). I will be putting on Swift springs and SPL FUCA+rear camber arms as well, which I have already ordered.

Alignment is stock as well, which I wasn't the happiest with, but once the springs and arms came in I was planning to initially go

front
caster maxed (up to 7.5)
camber -2.0
toe 0

rear
camber -1.5
toe +0.04 or 1/32"

see how it drives, and then adjust from there. I may want more negative camber up front if my tires dont wear too much and less rear negative camber for straight line launching if it is a problem (or more if it isn't)
