I’m getting Koni coilovers installed on Monday and am curious how high low everyone is dropping their car. This is my daily driver but I track it 4 or 5 times a year. I want to go as low as possible without being completely impractical on the street. If you really want to go above and beyond the call and give a measurement, let me know how far the front lip is off the ground.

Also, how much camber is everyone running front and rear. I can’t burn up my street tires, but want a little more camber than stock.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

btw, also getting new track tires (NT-01) and 19mm RSB (it’s going to be an expensive week).

 

Just get a camber kit

 

I'm getting the Koni's and adjustable arms installed this week too- my plan is to keep the rear perches in, lower as much as possible but even between front and rear so the car is level, softest dampening setting, camber close to stock. My car is street only at this point- sorry I don't have specific measurements. ^ this plan is based off a TT that is already running the Koni c/o package.

 

i took my rear perches out with vmaxx coils and i hit -3 degree camber.

def. get adj. control arms or kmac bushings.

 

Front:
Camber: -0.8deg
Cross Camber: 0deg
Caster: (not adjustable)
Toe: Toe IN (per side) 0 to 1/32" (want this closer to 0 than the stock specification)
Total Toe: 0 to 1/16"
Steering Angle: 0deg

Rear:
Camber: -1.6deg
Cross Camber: 0deg
Toe: Toe IN (per side) - 0 to 1/16"
Total Toe: 0 to 1/8"
Thrust Angle: 0deg

 

too low screws with suspension geometry. Don't have a number for you as to what is too low though. Suspension stuff takes some trial and error.

Thanks for the info guys.

OK, so this is going to be a dumb question. I can have the camber adjusted without getting the adjustable control arms, right? In other words, a camber kit doesn't predetermine the carwith a set amount of camber. Just want to make sure I understand the advantages of adj control arms vs. camber kit.

 

there is some camber adjustment from the factory, but due to odd circumstances, it's not always enough. Thats why I ended up with a camber/caster kit for my strut tower, and camber adjusting bushings on the control arms in the rear.
