Good point, but Stance angled LCA unfortunately wont be strong enough for frequent track use but perfectly fine for DD and aesthetic purposes

Any idea on how much (-) camber the front HVT plates give with this setup? Being at your current front height get at least -2 ??

Haha i was wondering the same, official website stating -1.8 degree and more with lower arm camber bolt but now with 2" drop it should be much more, for track purpose i would need at least -2.5 in the front

Not sure, haven't aligned it yet but it should max out more than that.

As to the OP, definitely the reason the Raceseng rears exist is to drop without losing travel. The only issues I've heard from anyone is using shorter length shocks and not having enough droop travel. There are also a couple people making lower control arms that reduce the ride height by lowering the lower attachment point. Stance is one of them.

You're right its probably too low to be fully functional. I don't go to the track often. I just want the ability to adjust the height if I feel like it.

Update. I just lowered the front just to see how low it'll go.


Max low in the front now.


Disregard the ghetto ebay led license plate light that went out. lol


This the max low on the new set up. I'm pretty happy with it now.


Here's some of my other cars so you can see what I usually have the ride height at.


F10 M5 on H&R lowering springs.


E92 M3 on H&R lowering springs.


E90 M3 on kw clubsports coilovers

Yea that's correct. I have some custom forged wheels on order. 19x12 rear and 19x10 front for wide body later.

Yeah I like how 19s fit. They probably don't ride as well as 18's.

To anybody willing to go to the work of correcting the geometery for low ride heights but still interested in the Ohlins. I would bet if you set the body height adjustment correctly you could likely get the car plenty low without offset mounts. Set the body height adjustment so the strut runs out of travel shortly after the tire runs into shit, so you maximize strut travel. From there, just get a shorter spring to get the static ride height desired. Up the rate at the same time to correct the downfall of the Ohlins. If you care about noise because the shorter spring wouldn't be preloaded, just add a helper spring. Cheaper and more effective. This method likely just got rid of a bunch of usable droop travel.
