Hello,
When I rebuilt the rear suspension I installed new Bilsteins with the snap ring set at the 3rd slot from the bottom. The 100# springs are new. I read on World that this was a setting used by others. After having the car back on the road for the last few weeks, it seems too low. I am running 185/65 tires. Soon I will be removing the rear suspension to replace the bushings, again, and want to raise the height in the process by about 3/4". What setting on the Bilsteims would accomplish this? |

If you go to the Paddock area of this site, there is a thread titled Track Car Pictures ( http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=51859 ), page 20 has a lot of good side elevation shots with different ride heights front and rear. Just to give you an idea of how you may wish to set yours up.
Matter of personal preference - I happen to like the nose to the ground look. FWIW |
