Default What Is Your Ride Height (Strano Springs and Bilstein Shocks)?

As the title states.

I have bilsteins on all four corners and strano springs. I swapped out the rear isolators for the 99-04 cobra Isolators part number (6-1709-BL) made by prothane. The whole suspension has maybe 400 miles on it, but these are the numbers I got after I swapped isolators (the cobra ones are suppose to drop the rear a 1/2in).

How I measured - Bottom of tire to bottom of fender well, (metal lip of tape measure under tire and then to the bottom of the fender well).

No one was sitting in the car and the car had 1/2 tank of gas left. I have no spare tire or jack, rear seat and rear bucket delete.

Driver Front: 24 3/4in

Driver Rear - 26 1/2in

Passenger Front - 25in

Passenger Rear - 26 3/4in

BEFORE I switched isolators my rear measurements on both sides were about 1/2in more then they are listed above.

Let's see what you guys have for your measurements on your suspension setups!

Thanks!

Don't know but it was low enough for me to get a ticket. Hal QA1 adjustable springs and shocks up front, Eibachers and dual drag bags in the rear with Hal/Qa1's.

The car sits low but the drag bags raise the rear up an inch or so when inflated and the QA1's can be raised higher if needed.

Sprints like a **** out the hole though.
