Coilover Ride Height Question...
I'm trying to fine tune my suspension before getting an alignment...according to stasis, ride height suggestions are as follows:
" Conservative Street Setup
Between 1/16 and 1/32 TOE IN front and 1/32 TOE IN rear
Ride height at 25.875” front and 26.000” rear
(�"1.0 camber front)
Aggressive Street Setup
Between 1/32 and 0 TOE IN on all four corners
Ride height at 25.500” front and 25.625” rear
(�"1.5 to �"1.75 camber front)
Track Setup
Between 0 and 1/16 TOE OUT on all four corners
Ride height at 25.000” front and 25.250” rear
(�"2.0 to �"3.0 camber front) "
It seems that I can go much lower than 25", is there any benifit to this? Should I dial it in to the aggressive street set up, get an alignment, then crank it down for auto-x/track days? Should I drop it as much as possible and then get the alignment...it seems that the aggressive street set up is too high...
any input?

But what the recommend on their website is not in the 24's...
to my knowledge, I don't think it'll be bad on the suspension if you go as low as possible as long as you aren't hitting the bump stop of the strut...
is that correct?

Too low can be bad....you can disrupt the geometry of whole suspension sytem greatly....
I am not an expert but there is a limit to how low you should go on pretty much stock car, and I say stock meaning your car is not all out race car.
