Just curious to see what ride height you guys are running, so thought I'd start off with my measurments and a pic to back it up:

(height measurement taken from ground to middle arch)

Front: 570mm
Rear: 575mm

truck height as its not lowerd and looks horrible
 
Damn i wish i still had my jordan to take part. It was screwed right down on coilovers
 
570mm all round iirc

with the spring rates on the car (12k front and 8k rear) gives a 2/3 front to 1/3 rear weight distribution
 
Front 575mm Rear 600mm
My car is currently on lowered springs but im having issues with the front wheels rubbing the inside of arch infront of the suspension with the inner edge of the tire. This happens if I have a fair bit of lock on, your cars are slightly lower than mine but im guessing you dont have these issues. Will this more likely be down to camber or toe or the fact I have lowering springs rarther than coilovers?
The rear tires on my car are showing signs of wear on the inner edge too so Im getting my car in for an alignment check asap.
Also if anyone knows the standard EK9 ride height so I can figure out how my my car has been dropped would be great thanks.

My first guess would be tyres - I never ran this low when I was still on 195/55/15 but if I had I suspect it would've rubbed.

Being that your height at the front is roughly the same as mine and Steven's and I know that we're both running a 50 profile I'd start there - are you running 55/15's?
 
if ran as low as you guys or drove your cars for a week they;d be in pieces lol but then again with oem header some of you are lucky

havnt measured mine but my compromise has always been best of both worlds with clearence and handling, looks has come last (cars do look nice really lowered but wouldnt work for me), my biggest prob is header design i run
 
first day i fiited myu coilovers, nearly had heart attack and couldnt be driven a foot

Dunno about measurements but i reckon its about 1/8 of a 1.4 to the 1/65 of a 9
 
I've just fitted a set of 40mm lowering springs which has improved handling without losing too much ground clearance. Haven't measured the ride hight but it looks great!

Cheers Jokeshop Yeah im still running the standard 55/15's as thats what was on the car already kinda the most obvious thing and I didnt check :eek:
Im at a bit of a loss now as I really dont want to damage the car more, I could either:
1) get camber adjusters new 50/15's and hope that I dont go over any big bumps wrong and damage the lip and the bottom of the car.
2)Get camber adjusters and coilovers and raise her till 55/15's clear.
3)Get some standard springs.

Sorry to hijack this thread hope ive not taken it to far of topic. I can always edit it back out for you.

Im a bit worried about my ride height. I caught the front lip on a bump at uni today :S had a look under the car when I changed the oil and the previous owner has obviously had some clearance issues before I wasnt worried about the height so much for me untill now tho.:nerv:

i'm a daily driver so riding on 17s wraped in 45/205 rubbers which i think works good round town with all these humps, my front lip hasn't grounded yet. will post pics tomorrow.
