Just wondering what everyones measurements are on the S2's if you have lowered your car.

(measured from center of wheel, straight up to fender, on "level" ground)

FL: 12.5 FR:12.5
RL: 14.0 RR: 14.0

Trust me, I spent forever trying to equalize measurements, and then had the shop put the finishing touches when he threw it on the lift lol.

Curious on what everyone elses measurements are, I am just wondering if maybe I am a bit too low in the front.

Sweet thanks for that, so I am thinking it may make some sense for me to bring the front end up at least half an inch ... probably a good idea anyway since I think the camber is maxed out in the front so it might help to raise it a bit, half inch should be just enough that I wont need an alignment. Anyone else?

I'll try to remember to take some measurements tonight (I have a small drop on a set of Ohlins).

FWIW, I raised my front end a bit

FL: 13.25 FR:13.25
RL: 14.0 RR: 14.0

Probably a lot better setup than I had before

I had my car corner balanced locally (at Roger Kraus Racing) but I don't think my garage is all that level. So, these are rough estimates at best:

FL: 13.7 FR: 13.7
RL: 13.6 RR: 13.6

Suspension

2009 RX-8 R3 with Progress Sport Springs and stock Bilstein dampers:

I was measuring just about 14.5" for all of my wheels right after the installation.

I didn't take measurements before, does anyone have stock R3 measurements?

I just measured my 8 last about a week after I installed tein s techs on the stock shocks and I had about 14.5" on all corners

Just installed powertrix coilovers. Settled on 13.5" on all corners. Did some research and the people that track/autox their cars recommend no lower than 13.5 inches.

Stock ride height was 14 3/4 front, 14 1/4 rear.
