I mostly want it for more shock travel

R2 coilovers installed. Good thing I raised the lower perches a couple inches before lowering the car, lol.

What's the best method to accurately lower the car on all 4 corners? I honestly don't want to go that low. Maybe 0.5''-1'' at most.

Paging @Dave-ROR

I measure the side jack points and match that. Well not directly.. If they are (random numbers): left front 5.1", right front : 5.3", left rear: 5.3", right rear, 5.2" then I'd go with the following to remove an inch: both front 4.2", both rear 4.3". Lets you ghetto side to side balance weights without scales.

Did someone have the OEM height measurement so I know how much I've dropped from the OEM height? I forgot to measure before removing the OEM suspension, lol.

If no one can get that I'll do it tomorrow when I install my stuff

I was able to find some heights here.

I have the car lowered about 0.5" all around (rough estimate). I'll keep it at that until I get can get an alignment this week. The final ride height will be pretty much dependent on how much camber is in the back, eg., raise ride height to decrease camber, and lower ride height to increase camber.

Some first impressions:
Ride quality is VERY compliant for my tastes, and I'm on 500/650 springs. I drove on some rough roads and my butt says that it's only about 35% more harsh than OEM.

There's very little dive when I brake hard. This is probably caused by a couple of things though. The tires weren't fully warmed up (Dunlop DII), and XP10 pads lock up the rotors very quickly even when they're cold.

Will probably vary from car to car.

What are your current comp/rebound settings? I set mine at 3 comp and 2 rebound right now, needs more rebound I still, maybe one more comp click too, I need to mess with it more but it handles the rates good so far.

I lowered the car about 10mm or so... a little less up front, need to corner balance it eventually.

These dampers don't have as much rear bump as I would like, the rear dampers are about halfway from fall droop to bumpstops currently.

It will. Tires, tire pressure, car, etc.

4 and 4, but don't take to mean anything. I'm not an expert in tuning compression/rebound, lol.

There's an autox event next week and I'll be able to more fine tune it there and with some help of some local S2k guys. One of them runs Motons, so he knows a thing or two about adjusting shocks, lol.

How much are you lowered? Have you had a chance to check how much camber you got in the rear?

Edit: just saw your edit for the ride height.

@Dave-ROR, what do you mean by this statement?

"These dampers don't have as much rear bump as I would like, the rear dampers are about halfway from fall droop to bumpstops currently."

You mean there's not enough bump compression, or there's not enough bump travel?
