Adjusting coilover height: L vs. R

cbad335 · 06-29-2008, 07:06 PM

I am adjusting the height of ST coilovers on my E90. It was a little too dropped for daily driving. I have a few questions:

-Should I adjust the driver's side higher than the passenger side?
-If so, by how much?
-If the driver's side is to be higher, is that in the front only, or front and rear?
-should the front and rear be same height over the tires, or a little higher in the front (like the car was stock ZSP)?

Thank you for your assistance.

go and corner balance your car with a pro. don't try and do it yourself without the proper equipment. There is one guy in the OC who does Porsche tuning and suspension balancing....really good. I did mine there. Hmmm......crummy. Forgot the name.

+1 I recommend using a professional shop unless you have experience in corner balancing.

Never heard of corner balancing. I've had no problems adjusting the height of the coilovers myself, it's been pretty easy. Didn't know I had to get another professional involved now and get it corner balanced, damn. So I paid to have them installed, then get an alignment, now corner balance? Is that really necessary?
