Curious to know how high/low my car is riding compared to others. How much clearance should I have from the ground to the bottom of the (stock) valance? Or is it easier to measure to the bumper?
Still trying to get my teener roadworthy and have a couple of hours to kill today. Front end looks a little too high, but I don't know if it's because of the tires I have installed (195/50-15 - Kumho). Thanks, Carlos |

Mines set 4.5/4.75 front to rear, ground to doughnuts. 22.5 inch dia tires.
I don't have "dust covers" on my front struts. so I can see how much travel is being used in front. The answer is "all of it" (about 2.5 in of travel at the strut). I cut one bump off my bump stops to keep the suspension from bottoming (21mm bars). Bottoming the front suspension will give you instant push. Go low, but use care. |
