What ride height for ae86 lower springs at the front???

[tetsujin]

Hi peeps.

I have a KE70 Estate.

I found a company here in the UK that will take ths STD ride height front springs and heat and change the spring rate and ride heigh of them for a small fee.

Now, to me, this is a better way to lower it than chopping the springs but the problem is....


How much should I get the springs reduced to??

40mm ??

60mm ??

80mm ??

I want the car quite low to be honest but I dont want it lower than it need to be.

What do you people run??

Cheers
Adam

Measure how much travel is in the front suspension now; from where
it sits until it touches the bumpstops. You need about 70 mm to keep a
reasonable amount of suspension travel with standard rate springs.

If you have more than 70 mm, the difference is how much you can
lower the front.
