SW20 suspension height - SORTED

Postby iOnic » Sat Aug 14, 2010 2:39 pm

Does anyone know (or is anyone willing to measure) the height of a STOCK (suspension wise) SW20 from center of wheel to the guard lip? Trying to calculate how much lower than stock mine is

This is the measurement I need. Thanks in advance.

Cheers :D Seems to vary from car to car. Got mine at 295 front and rear at the moment but the car is up in the air so suspension fully extended. Should settle a bit once on the ground.

Wanted to know so that I could figure out what size roll center adjusters I need to get my lower arms back to sensible angles

How do RCAs work when the steering arm is cast into the hub?

Obviously the steering arm angle needs to lower back down as well, if you're going to space the arms back down.

I've got aftermarket pillow ball outer tie rod ends that have the spacing built into the design similar to the ones below.
