K, just an update on my project..
Goal: To be able to corner balance the car, while maintaining ride height (snowboard alot in Winter), or a very minimal drop (to preserve suspension travel as much as possible) while getting improved handling.
I purchased the following
* Fully Adjustable Street Kit
* Swift Springs - 178mm in Free Length (7 inch), 336 lbs/inch, 60mm ID #
* SuperPro 24mm RSB - #RC0052RZ24
* Moog Rear Endlinks (made of metal, not plastic composite). - #K750809
I've been trying to find a replacement for the rear orange springs because jumping up between tiers costs too much dough, money saved ended up funding the rest of my suspension setup instead. I settled on a rear spring that I believe will give me "Sports" type of stiffness.
Finally got a chance to install the rear kit (currently coupled with the stock OEM / Front Springs - still waiting for the 21mm strut nut tool)
Okay, the news..
My Car stock had the following heights measured from the ground (LHD) - please note that this may not match the number for other cars as I have 18 inch wheels and 245/40R18 MPSS (which has an overall taller diameter compared to the stock 19 inch and 235/35R19).
- Front Drive Side: 26 and 1/8"
- Front Passenger Side: 26 and 1/4"
- Rear Passenger Side: 26 and 3/4"
- Rear Passenger Side: 26 and 7/8"
Currently, the *rear driver* with the Swift springs is currently at
26 and 1/4 inches - which basically makes it level with the front OEM springs. If you noticed the height adjustments, I have a good half an inch drop available on the rears (or raise it up to stock height). I'm not sure if this will "sag" more (aka - settle up to 2000 miles, whuut?) - but Swift springs (and Hypercoils - guaranteed at less than 2%) don't sag if you believe their marketing. The black Eibach springs may sag over time though.
Once I get the 21mm front strut nut tool (doh), i'll tackle the fronts and get the car aligned and will post back.
