Brad:

What ride height do you use for a every day driver that wont be raced? I would like it to handle but not jar my back out of joint. I have 140 pound springs that have been cut 1 inch and have eleven inch free length. Where do you measure this height? I also have both stock sway bars installed.

Thanks Bernie

changing the ride-height doesn't affect the comfort, since you don't change the spring rates
that is untill you are so low that the suspension starts bottoming out (infinate spring rate) or you are continuously scraping speedbumps...

cheers,

Jeroen
