To properly set your suspension up (ride height vs usable suspension travel vs balance) you need to have someone measure when you are in the car. Stock ride height doesn't matter to balance unless you mess with the proportions front and rear (lower the rear end, center of gravity moves back and vise versa). Keep in mind that if you are concerned with anything less than a half inch, all modified weight (lower weight after market parts are a big deal because they usually weigh less) must be taken into account, along with your spring rates. Soo when you sit down to drive it lowers, step out to measure your car it will lift up again. If you are on ANY type of slope, good night.


So don't worry about usefulness, just looks. You will not be able to take the car to the limits where unbalancing it will make it unsafe. Unless you put some BFG All Terrains on it.

Would anybody like to enjoy some car related ear porn? I've never liked Porsches, but this is good stuff.

Since the discussion of suspension has been brought up, I am curious how many here would be interested in corner balancing and a performance oriented alignment? If you want to start a list that works. Please understand this will not be free. Proper corner balancing is very time consuming and the equipment I use is expensive but the results are worth it. This service will include driver weight compensation or any personal preferences for balancing/alignment specs. If you aren't sure what you want I will determine the best specs based on usage of vehicle. Lemme know guys as I have never offered this to this particular community before.

I have my car corner balanced and it is worth it IMO. I have not personally used Alan but he seems very knowledgable on many aspects of modding vehicles.
