Grant Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Ok well good to hear that it's normal. I measured the corners again and right front is now the same as left front, but right rear is still higher. I'm thinking about the geometry as well, i wonder which is better, to adjust all corners so that it sits level or is it more important to leave them the same height and hope that they will bed in to the same height? As i track the car also i consider this pretty important. One thing i started thinking that what if the lower control arms or their bushes have worn over time, and thus creating the difference in height? Or maybe possibly the previous owner crashed the car or did something to damage the chassis so that it's taken a tiny bit of damage invisible to the eye? Worn bushes is also something that i thought of .. No way of telling though without replacing! Im with you, im not sure which is more important lol .. Although i do know, that the local honda tuning garage by me, when setting up a "track" car, they corner weight the car .. So putting all four wheels on separate scales and adjusting height until it is equal in all four corners .. SO this obv works and works well for the balance of the car .. To sum it up, i dont know which is best lol .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 It might be best taking the car to a place that does track prep to get their opinion on it? Probably going to worth more than I can type out on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 ye that's probably the best idea to what people have said above! ye my car handles pretty well but needs new tyres on the front she front wheel spins and skips like i said before you need to let them settle in in the next week or so when you drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To sum it up, i dont know which is best lol .. I thought setting up corner weights was done by adjusting the spring preloads, not height? There's a business not too far from my place that does this so maybe i'll take the deck there after the snows melt and the fast season begins...

Grant Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Worth a shot mate!! And no I'm not sure on the corner weighting! Never had it done, have only seen results/spoken to ppl that have. But never needed to know all about it before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Here's the brake stopper i talked about earlier, finally painted racing red and fitted! I modded the mounting holes and did some dry-fits to get it to align exactly against the middle of the master cylinder, but after tightening everything all the way it's still a bit off the center... now it's a bit down and to the right. Hope it doesn't matter too much. But main thing is: more bling in the bay! p.s. note my hella rad bc racing damping adjustment knob! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
