I think it looks nice myself. The rear might be a shade too low relative to the front- I believe that you are supposed to look for a 1 degree slope on the rocker (back slightly higher than the front)

I like that ride height, but do you feel any uncomfortable inside. What about mine, would you think is too low ?

Its a little low for my taste....but it is somewhat subjective...if you do a lot of track time it might be ok....but for general street driving I think you might find issues with the ride height....only way to find out is drive it for a while...

looks fine... if you don't rub you're all good.

I would have left it alone at Euro height.

Feels very SOFT
 

The ride feels spongy and soft --like the rear shocks are bottoming out> but no rubbing or knocks though.

Just re- measured I asked for 24.25 Rear and 24.5 Front

After driving it home I remeasured it Its 23.5 Rear and 24 Front
:eek:

Looks great though???http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1147357784.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1147357810.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1147357853.jpg

It looks great, it shouldnt rub, leave it as you have it now.

The front looks spot on but the rear is too low IMO. The rear tire is too far up into the fenderwell compared to the front.

you mean should be the same ?
 

Did it ought to be level with the fender wall like the front?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1147358595.jpg
cheers

Raise the rear a little.

I thought it was fine before. If the ride is too soft I'd put it back where it was.

I dig it....I think it looks perfect.....tell me how I know (just finished this myself)....BTW how is the rebuild on your friend's red 930 that got tangled-up?

Yasin

Your car looks great>>
 

My mate's Turbo is work in progress...coming along..
Will drive it for a few days and see who it goes
cheers

Ideal height IMO....
 

This is the height I was hoping to achieve>>> http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1147360555.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1147360607.jpg

I wonder if the susp. is too low and the geometries are screwy? The front looks fine, i think the rear looks a little low aesthetically but I have seen a lot of cars with the "lower in the rear" look lately, maybe the tuner shops have found this faster at the track? DWSD's car comes to mind. I am assuming they re-aligned after they lowered?

IMO, It looks about 3/4 on an inch too low in the rear. The front looks great.

It is amazing the difference your new Fuchs wheels make. That is one beautiful Carrera!

Seems majority think its too low>>>
 

Yep I tend to agree >>
I was advised to go 24.27 front and 24.25 rear, that's what I asked the garage to do...BUT
Its now 24.0 and 23.5 rear.
If youre saying the front is fine at 24 then where should I set the rear ?
Thanks

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.
