A question for the technically minded of you out there.
Does the ride height make a lot of diference to the way the car handles and is there an optimum height.
Also should the car be level or is it better with the nose up or the rear up.
Cheers Paul.

AFAIK 2,5-3 cm lowered front and 1,5-2 cm lowered rear for optimum performance. If you lowered more you haven't enough suspension travel and you need special shocks to cope.

Question

Thanks Jim but do these dimensions relate to a car fitted with coilovers as you have a greater degree of adjustment.
Cheers Paul.
