Best ride height on front coilovers?
I have qa1 coil overs on the car and bmr lowering springs in the rear. is there anyway to determine what the best height is to set the front of the car? my main concern is fast 60fts. the car looks cool with the front real low but if that hurts my short times i'll set it like a 4x4 if thats what is needed. lol.
currently the car sits like this-
what do you guys think?

Mine was set at 25 1/4" to the center of the front fender center (REALLY low. lol) But that's what it took for it to 60' high 1.4x's with a stock torque arm.
Lets put it this way, I raised my front ride height 3/4" and it went to 1.7x's!! Every car is a little different and you are just going to have to experiment at test and tunes to see what YOUR car wants to be set up in relationship to the rest of the car and its suspension. It looks great like that but good luck figuring out what it needs!
(BTW my car had 25" Moroso drag specials on the front.)

So you have 25 inch tires and your fender is 25 and 1/4" to the ground? I have 26 inch M/T front runners and the fender is 27 and 1/2" from the ground. My concern is the top of the tire rubbing on the inner fender while on my way to low 1.30 60 foots.
Hope this helps the OP that started the thread!

Like said; every car is different and will like certain things more.
Mine is sitting pretty low like yours, and it works pretty good considering the set-up.
Everyone will tell you tho, lowered cars don't hook as well. They usually work best in 4x4 mode.
Your just gonna have to try different things and see what the car likes.
