I'm going to be installing the race suspension in my Evo IX some time in the next few weeks, and was hoping some of y'all could share your ride heights and alignment settings. Also please let me know where you're measuring ride height from (kinda helpful ;-)

We'll do fairly extensive testing, but it would be nice to have enough feedback to have a reasonable starting point.

For background, the car is being built for Targa Newfoundland. It's a tarmac rallye but on fairly broken up roads, so we'll probably keep the ride height fairly high (lower than stock, but not by much) and the springs will be relatively soft for a racecar. Suspension compliance and travel is big here, as there are lots of big potholes and a handful of sizeable jumps.

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Spring rates are going to make a big difference on how high you need the car to not rub. What rates are you going for?

Heres some photos of my setup with 650 rear and 500 front. You will see loaded and unladed pictures and some neutral also.

 

no pics?

Targa Newfoundland is awesome! I saw it for the first time on the speed channel a while back! It's about time a Evo entered. Good luck man...
