The idea of coil over is that you can put the car on some scales and get the weights evenly distributed. you can't do this with a fixed height system. If doing any track work, getting the weights right is very important....this should be done before chasing any "handling issues" you may/will experience.


who told u that???
i would never set the car to a different height on the right to the left unless racing around a speedway track or oval circut....

corner wieghting should be done by moving components, adding weight etc... not using the coilovers.

Coops,
look at how much suspension travel u have with the ca18 in it. maybe 2" travel before u hit the bumpstop!! This is bad already.
if u don't want to lower the car no worries get some decent inserts and harder springs.. maybe the gemini progressive rate springs are heavier than the 1200"s??? it will handle better but is that all u want???

if u want to lower it a litte bit it will drop the centre of gravity+++, but u are going to need a lot more travel to drive on a track, even on hard braking without bouncing on the bumpstops.. that is unless u are running 300p springs???

shorten the strut, weld on coilovers, get decent inserts, 175p springs minimum..
