Case Study#2 (FNKYS4's car...Sorry, no pix)
2000 6spd, MTM Springs, Stock Shocks, 18" BBS RXIIs w/ 225/40-18 Dunlops
Ground to Fender Lip: 25.125"

I'll post an update once I get the summer tires back on (Avus w/ 225/24-17 Pirelli P6000s), and the car settles a bit. Since a 225/45 wil have a slightly lower profile than 205/50, once the car settles, I should drop down to 25.125, or less

Note: As I mentioned before, I'm at the 'highest' setting on the Neuspeed/Bilsteins, so I have about 1" more drop to avail of, if I so desire.

They're both too tall to be allowed on the kiddy rides )

How about the measurement in the back?

Hey so when are you doing the alignment?
You can try STS. They cost around $60-70, and their max wheels size is 17"

I just got my alignment read out. I'm going to post it on a new tread and see what people say here and the motorsport forum.

I thought the Neuspeed/Bilsteins had 2 notches above, and 2 notches below the stock setting, each spaced 10mm apart. Therefore if you were at the middle setting, you should have about 1" to go down *and* 1inch to go up. If you were at the highest setting, you'd have almost 2" to go down. ECS, on the other hand, only makes notches below the stock setting, so perhaps Neuspeed is now doing this as well?

I'm getting my alignment on thursday at EuroTire...$95

and I'm at the highest one, which is the way the shocks were, out of the box.

Hey, do you have a VAG? I've got some issues and need to check codes. Let me know. Thanks.

He's got a VAG, and Montclair's local to you, right?
