Optimum ride height?

[Mike R]

Is there such a thing?

I think my car sits too low (H&R coilovers), so want to set it to what-ever is considered the optimum height that achieves the best geometry (as in the least amount of bump steer in compression etc).

Measured floor to arch

Try 645mm front, 640mm rear.

Simpson Motorsport usual set up CSL with a ride height of 645mm Front and 640mm Rear (Wheel arch to ground - Level surface). At least that's what they set with Intrax coilovers.

While you're feeling generous, what are the recommended geometry settings?

[alexk]

OEM ride height is 665mm front an 650mm rear.

Geo depends on your preference.
Some have two settings and a compromise between road and track.
Some set to Oem.

I would need to dig the sheets outs.

Guesstimate without looking
Anything from -1.5 / -3.5 camber front
Toe to suit
Rear -.5 to maybe -2
Toe to suit

If you don't mind me saying you have to lose that rear window thing

It's the first time I seen the rear window spoiler off a Touring used on a CSL, whatever floats your boat:thumbs: Got to go if 'Cred' is to be restored :supz:

[Mike R]

You'll have to blame Rich for the roof spoiler - its some sort of Schnitzer part, which will be removed at some point.

With regards to the geo, it's currently on factory settings after a recent KDS alignment done a few months ago.

I have Turner Motorsport rear bush limiter kit and some Simpson Motorsport top mounts to go on, so I'm after some suitable track settings for Cups :).

Sure it could be sold on cutters as a CSL part :whistle:
