Redhatter,

Thanks for referring to my car as the perfect ride height. I can tell you that the measurements @ the centerline of the wheel to the arch are F 24 7/8" and R 24 1/4". The arches are S flares. The tires are 205/50-16 Fuzion ZRi on 7" Fuchs, which should have a dia of 24 1/8". So far, in normal street/highway driving I have been OK wrt rubbing and bottoming.

Thanks for the reply Paul
Yep your car set up was my goal and thats the measurement I was advised and requested - will need to take it back and have them redo it ...
Many thanks indeed
Rich

Yes, the rear needs to go up a hair, otherwise its still nice looking.

I like my ride height as long as they do not rub, and provide the rear clear all speed bumps.

[Rad Hatter]

where did you get yours done in HK?

[eyue]

For the suspension, Gambella HK ( Mr. Wong ) did both my Porsche.

[Rad Hatter]

Mr Wong at Carrera Motorsports >>>
But it took him one week and it feels very soft now

[eyue]

It only take me one day and it's fine for me....

[Rad Hatter]

what does he charge for doing the lowering and alignment eyue?
Are you Jeff's friend?

[Rad Hatter]

Does this car's lowering look too low, too aggressive In your opinion ?

[asphaltgambler]

This car looks on the border of sitting too low in the rear -MO

[eyue]

I am Jeff friend that we were suppose to meet last Friday night...and the ride height of that blue Carrera looks like mine......

[eyue]

MR.Wong of Gambella charge around HKD 1400 for lowering and all wheels alignment, usualy is an hour works, but it all depends on their work load...

My car went into carrera motors last tuesday - by Saturday not returned- picked it up at noon today!!
Look low to you or okay euye>?
You wanna drive on Sunday morning?

[eyue]

I think your car looks fine...did you change the shocks ?

[Miguel Antonett]

I would NOT do a thing to it. It looks great!

[safe]

Looks great, but I could bet a good sum on that it will rubb if you push a corner hard.

Rad Hatter,

I think if you're asking other people if the car looks too low, then chances are you're probably not satisfied with the height and it will likely always be a mental irritation.

Your car certainly looks lower (in the front) than the reference yellow car. Perhaps take another picture of your car but from the same low angle and compare. (Notice how you can't see the hood of the yellow car, but you can see yours.)

===============================================
You're spot on, I 'sense' it's too low and the yellow car was my goal look.
Will redo the shot and compare in the daylight Thanks again chaps!
Cheers Rich
