i'm not one to start a readers rides thread so ive put my photo's here. just after yesterday i got it lowered on jom coilovers. wound down all the way. i know its not as low as most and it could go lower with the helper springs taken out but i use it everyday driving and sometimes have kids and stuff in the boot so i'm happy with it.

it currently on a trial stage 1 map too and now i have it i need it to be permanant. lol

How is the ride on the JOMS mate? Better than standard?

Tell her all shoes are the same and see what happens

Rides not too different Daniel but its definatly planted around the corners more. And obviously lower

The height difference between front and rear ride height will make the car handle in significantly different ways. If the back is lower than the front it will make the back more stable but the front push on and under-steer. If the back is slightly higher than the front then the back end will feel like it wants to come round but the front will turn in quicker and have less tendency to under-steer.

The "experts" at awesome set it up. To me it looks level, but on the printout sheet the rear is like 2 or 3 mm higher. On i spirited drive before it did understeer a bit but it was wet and i was pushing it out a corner from a roundabout.

Take a note of the settings, mark the struts, and try different setting to see the difference it makes. That is for a trackday or the likes.

 

[jake]

The best way is corner weighting but it's costly

 

[andypower]

IM know im never going to track the car. But i am going back to awesome for something tomorow. I could ask them then.

Is it better to be nose down or level?

If nose down by how much difference?
