Ride Height

In an 88 coupe that is predominately (not soley) used on the track, what are you using for a front and rear ride height. Did you need a bump steer kit with your height adjustment? Thanks for whatever insight you can provide.

Ride Height

I did a search on the many ride height postings but still have one question. Measuring from highest part of the fender arch my car is currently at 24 1/4 F and 24 1/4 R. Using the rule of Front being 1/2 to 3/4 higher than the Rear I should raise my Front to 24 3/4 to 25 (of course many of you have 1" difference F to R).

BUT, is this rule true for widebody cars? Can anyone confirm this? Don't know if the widebody and the narrow body cars have the same fender arc.

I put in HD front/Sport rear Bilsteins, lowered and corner balanced the car. Handles like a dream, but the front really takes a pounding when I hit any bump in the road. Moving the front up a bit can only help.

Thanks Brad
