Went to Tire Rack today and got the Kumho V710's mounted on my new (too me) Keizer rims. Went the with the 205 50 15 non heat cycled. Of course when I got home I had to put them on the car. I using 1/8" spacer on the rears and 1/4"on the front looks like I need to adjust my ride height a little. Front is setting 24 inches from floor to top of wheel arch, rears are at 22.

Well I went out and tried to adjust the ride height...I'm fuched (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) It's is low as it can go, though I can get it adjusted up to over 7 inches from the floor to the donut (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

so now what (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I guess just run it the way it is and see what happens.

Garold,

I'm assuming you are referring to your front end suspension, which is totally adjustable for ride height.

You need to re-index your torsion bars.


I quote Skline:

Remove the end cap on the torsion bar on the inside by removing the adjustment bolt and pull the end cap off and change it to give you more adjustment. In other words, if it is at the top when you remove it, put it back in more towards the bottom and then put the adjustment bolt back in. Then you will have more adjustment. You will need a jack underneath the control arm to get it out and then to put it back in.

If you're referring to the rear suspension, you need to give us more info.

Nice wheels. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
