31621, ass end too high?
Posted by Nemo, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
My 97 RS seems to sit about 2'' higher in the back than the front. I'm going to change struts and springs to lower the whole car. Should I set up a more balanced look fron fron to back? This is going to be a daily driver and possibly a little local autox on the weekends at Irwindale or 605 Speedway. Thanks.

For some autocross action id invest in Koni's.
They are great DD occasional autocross struts. You can set them to soft for everyday and crank them to firm for autocross!
Ive also heard good things about Tokico Illuminas. They are adjustable, and the shock/spring set for all four corners can be had for 450ish shipped off eBay :)
And yes, go for a balanced look IMO.

Again, Thank you, Tim. I was going to try out the Tokicos. There's a seller on ebay (suspensionmax)offering them around $450 and they'll do a free installation if you live in SoCal.

Im pretty sure our cars just seem to have a muscle car stance. AKA the front is noticably lower than the front. They look awesome dropped and level though.

Yeah, I think you're right there. The car was totally stock when I bought it. The girl that sold it to me said "don't take the tach over 3.5 grand, it's not good for the car" lmao I stole this one for $2300 with 130,000 on it.
