Lowered? What are your measurements?
 
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.

2010 R3 eibach spring.......F 13.5.............R 13.75 ( 3\4 Fuel tank and 32 psi all corner)

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).

paimon.soror 08-03-2011 10:05 AM

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

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.
