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.

Please tell me you still have the link to this panel I have been looking for one for AGES

Changed out the front disks. Knew the drilled DBA XS’s would crack at some point. Changed out to the DBA T3 that is not drilled. Found out that EBC yellows will only last 2 track days. Not buying those again.

Installed ~65lbs of noise abatement. ~30lbs from Amazon Basics version of Dynamat, ~30lbs of mass loaded vinyl, and maybe 5lbs of rockwool. Weights estimated from the shipping weights and the portion used.

• Applied strips & squares of the butyl mat anywhere the metal rang when tapped, the roof and quarters were the worst.
  
• Laid out MLV in 2’x4’ strips down each side of the floor from firewall to trunk opening, a 2’x2.75’ strip over the trans tunnel from the shifter to the trunk opening, opened the rear seat back rear upholstery and placed a sheet of mlv inside and closed it back up, cut a piece to fit under the package tray, cut a sheet to fit under the spare tire cover, and a piece to fit under the trunk lid dress-up thing.
  
• Placed strips of rockwool batt in the dead space in front of the rear wheel wells and on top of the rear wheel wells.

Still have the doors to do.

*technically I didn’t do this today because at the time of posting it’s 1am locally and I stopped working on it before dinner. also, I’ve had the interior strewn around my garage for almost a week as I’ve worked on it when I had time and today (I mean yesterday) was mostly just reassembling the interior so I can go out of town with it tomorrow and deal with the doors at some future time.
**yes I know it’s a sports car, but I like taking trips in it and my spouse hates the noise, so if this succeeds in making it bearable so we aren’t always traveling in the boring sedan, it’s worth the minor weight penalty.

Great job! I am too lazy to do something like that. Wish they had less noise. Switching from wifes Q3 to this is day and night [emoji16]
But would prefer x100 my twin [emoji41]

Fitted a new clutch. Old one 18 months old and rated at 370nm was not holding. New one is 600nm 450ftlb and feels nice.

I went to that one. It feels light compared to the ACT. Broke in and was smooth quicker than the ACT, but it overheats easy and quick.
