Hey guys. just got done with the first attempt at lowering the SC.
Except for the p/s ride height bolt that wouldn't budge, it was pretty straightforward. I know I need to do some more adjustments, but it sure looks tough like this. I set my plates in the middle so that I should be able to dial her up a bit tomorrow night. 23.5 right now. I think 24 will be just about right. Thanks to all those that helped me from previous posts. ![]() Wayne ![]()

Forgot a before pic.
I can barely fit my index finger between the tire and fender lip is the reason i want to raise it a little. Seems a little close to be safe. Thanks for the comments. ![]()

Back is a bit too low vs. front - lower the front a bit & grit your teeth ;-)
or raise the rear a bit Craig @RS REALLY low - full track setup yikes on the street

You live in Michigan........what were you thinking? We have the worst roads, oh what the heck, it looks great. Good luck, and may all chuck holes move out of your way.

That's 23.5"? Looks higher than that. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely an improvement, but it's not too low. I agree w/ Craig911--It can still go a little lower in front.
Mine is 0.25" below Euro spec all 4 corners. Mike '86 ![]() |

Wayne, it sure looks good at that rear height. But you have very little suspension travel left.
The lowest I would go for a street car with standard spindle height is 24.5 / 25 assuming stock diameter tires and struts (even this is a stretch) Lower than this and you are hurting the front geometry pretty badly. And you'll be announcing your arrival on steep driveways.

i have the figures chuck quoted and it looks about right - does nothing for your steering though.

Here is a pic of my LOW rider, I live in Michigan and what a challenge to out drive and dodge the pot holes in our wonderful state. Have been lucky thus far........

If your suspension is close to stock, it looks a little too low in the rear to me. I lowered mine for the first time wearing a set of 17" cup wheels on a stock SC to what looks like the same height and had rubbing issues. Couldn't get enough negative camber to get rid of it, so I raised the car half inch in the rear and it fixed the problem. Looks cool though!
