My car I feel sits to low in the front.



<acronym title='previous owner'>PO</acronym> installed Hypercoils from paragon a while back, and they are 200, 220lb variety not sure which. Suspension is original other than springs.



I auto crossed this weekend, and under heavy braking and cornering, car is understaffing.



I measured height of car.



LF-25.25"

RF-24.75"



LR-25.25"

RR-25.00"



What is stock ride height? I think these hyper coils dropped front 1.5" or more.



How much lower are the CS springs from a non CS car? I am not opposed to 250lb springs, i think Pete has some 10"x2.50" x 250lbs. Would those work on stock suspension the 10"?



I definitely need different springs and a REAL good alignment.

Car is understeering--------- not understaffing------auto spell changed it.

an M030 car (whether it is a CS or not) is 20mm lower than a standard car, which is about 26" (sometimes a bit higher) all around



i would get the car corner balanced. i am willing to bet that your LR is causing the RF to be too low.



that being said, i would install whatever springs you want first.



the hypercoils are indeed about 200lbs. they fit the standard spring perches. heavier springs will also require strut work to add collars. that is the beginning of the slippery slope.

Are those heights to low now? It looks ok from drivers side, but passenger side front looks wrong.



When corner balanced what is a correct acceptable height, that will not affect handling?

as i siad, i am willing to bet that your LR is causing the RF to be too low.



all height change affects handling, sometimes good, sometimes bad. it depends on the height. lowering helps up to a point and then when too low hurts.



the heights you are at, after being corner balanced, should be fine, and are what most people set their cars up to. corner balancing will almost certainly correct the height imbalance issue.

Thank you sir.



I shall just freshen up struts/shocks, corner balance and align.
