Mike B Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 New Koni's on the car and new tien springs, I was worried that the ride height on the tiens may be a little low, and so set the koni's on their regular (upper) height. The car looks like it's on stilts now compared to what it was! I can get two fingers between the tyres and the base of the arch on the front and rear. Can anyone one (susp meastro Chris perhaps) what a good, sensible, low ride height is - as I read in one of Chris' earlier threads that too low will throw the mechanics of the job right off. What's the right height? am I ok to lower forther than two fingers gap... as it was at least 3cm lower allround before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 i have just had a set of koni's fitted and i went for the eibach's which is one of or if not the best lowering springs, and its a 38mm drop compared to standard, to be honest with you if you look like your on stilts i dont think your teins have lowered it any as i am on the top on front and rear, i sit on 18's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Ah Hah! yours is on stilts too!! maybe this is normal... My old springs (kyb) must have been very soft - they were longer than the tein, yet sat much lower. I bet you can get a couple of fingers between wheel and arch there...?
