Title: ride hight
Post by: SwedenBens on January 05, 2022, 09:33:33
Hi, wonder what the difference in ride hight might be if you change position of the lower rear spring plate who got 3 positions.

I think that ride height wouldn't change much but camber would. Since the camber changes every time you hit a bump on the road it's more of a setting that won't produce tire wear. If you have inside tire wear you probably have too much negative camber. Larger adjustments can be found by changing the compensating spring rubbers.

Hi, thanks for reply, but what i after is correct ride hight and automatically  i will have the correct camber i suppose, now the car is slightly low in back, of course i can change with sicker spring rubber, but i just wonder if it will be enough to change the plates sins they where in lower low position now.

Sounds like some trial and error with spring rubbers.
