Default Quick Question

Hey guys and Gals.

I just got my HKS LS+ coilovers installed along with Cusco F&R sways, Cusco Front a-arms and SPC rear camber/toe bolts.

Heres my question: Its all aligned(sp) and dialed in. But it is way to high. Higher than my mother stock ZR. Can the shop and I lower it without ruining the specs? The alignment cost 210.

The car feels so much better. I had eibach springs. Thats it. Turns awesome. I need take it to the track.

Thanks for your help.

depends where you are at now, and your wheel specs/tire sizes

what is your height now from the fender centerline to the ground front and rear?

def should have called me for the Cusco/SPC stuff too...but that's a seperate discussion

Yea I know Adam. I bought it all used. Sways cost... well a good deal imo. The front arms..semi good deal.

The wheel and tire specs:
18x9 et22 RGII's front with 265/35/18 Sumitumo htrzII tires
18x10 et25 RGII's rear with 285/35/18 Sumitumo htrzII tires

Front Drivers side: 25 3/4 from centerline to ground
Front Passanger: 26 1/4 " " "

Rear Drivers Side: 27 1/4 from centerline to ground
Rear Passanger: 25 3/4 " " "

Well now that I have those measurments, I knew my car sat werid. Well now that a differnet story. I am going to talk to the installer. and see what he will do about the different heights.

Thanks Adam. and all others to help.

definitely fix that rideheight - that is going to throw everything out of whack - of course you are going to have to realign afterwards.
