What's your ride height looking for autox?

I've been running DS for 4 years and actually never owned adjustable coilovers only any of the cars I've run.

My front is set at about 5 1/2 inches at the pinch welds, which allows me to just squeeze my low profile jack under the front in the middle.

Rear I was playing with since the rear driver's side needed to be raised a good bit to get even with the other side. I'm now sitting at about 6" at the pinch welds in the rear, which more or less makes the rear wheel gap look close to stock.

Not sure if the height is going to affect handling much. Still need to get around town (at least to events) and PA has a much of potholes and hills.

....

I like to measure from the ground to the fenders, or center hub to fenders.
In which case, from center hub to fender, I'm at 13" in the front and 13" in the rear.
Not super low, be certainly a good bit less then stock height.

Even if you had decent roads you don't want to go too low, especially in the rear as it can cause extra stress on your axles.

Yeah, heard about the axle issues.

Just measured: 13.5" front and about 14.25" rear. The rear is sitting a bit high for sure. Car also hasn't been moved since it was last up, so it usually settles about a 1/4" inch. Probably need to come down a good 1/2" to 3/4" in the rear.

Thanks for the measurements.

Yesterday the BRZeeee had its underside cleaned, dry ice, then coated in Bilt Hamber Dynax UC.
