What's your ride height for autocrossing? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Well, I've finished my Pfadt coilover conversion and am waiting for things to clear up to go for corner balancing and a first alignment.

So, I'm wondering what other fellow autocrossers who are lowered have experienced with their Camaros wrt the ride height. Has anyone played around with their car's ride height to see if lower is faster or what the optimum height would be?

Thanks!

what tires/wheels are you using?

I use a 25.6" tall 18" A6 Hoosier tire.. they dropped the car a lot.
Suspension is down 1".

I just clear with my 19's on the car to be able to align the car.It gices me a 1/4" clearance on a hunter alignment machine when in place.

I can't align or load the car in the trailer with the 18's as they drop the car too much.. I had to modify the lower control arms so they would clear when at the apex of the corner. Can't go any lower with the 18's I use.

BTW.. tire sizes for the tires I ruin are in my signature.
