suspension question
Okay I just swapped out my Rm/AGX for a GC/AGX set up. So I can now choose my ride height. I know not to drop more than 1.5" but my car sit fairly low in the front it seems and I am thinking of raising it slightly to get a better camber curve.

Does anyone have or grab me some fender lip to axle height measurements for the front and rear that work well. If I knew the stock measurement I could work off that too.

Thanks

Ride height changes don't change the curve. It does change the "level of suck" that you're in. You dont want to measure to the fender lip as it's too easy for that to be shifted, and it's hard to duplicate the exact point you measure to. We always measure to the bottom of the rocker (not including the pinch weld). I'm not near eithe of my track cars, but somewhere in the 7in range seems to stick in my head.

Okay thanks Blair, I will measure to the rocker and use 7in as a minimum as ti is a DD 80% of the time. Just needed a good starting point, Cheers

Good choice, Road Magnets are a bit too much for a DD. If they were a progressive spring rate, I would say otherwise, but they are linear. It is what it is. Congrats on your new setup, sir. Good luck!

I tried 7in and it was at near stock /suv looking height. I dropped it down to 6.5 and it is still much higher than the RM's. I suspect the RM/s leave the car at aroung 5.5-6" rocker to road.
