djhedges Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 We're building a 91 Civic and just recently added coilovers. Setting ride height is new to me. We're heading to a test and tune this weekend. Does anyone have any recommendations on a starting ride height? Or how to go about setting the ride height? For what it's worth we're running 600/550 lb springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10dsbrennan Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 600F/550R or vise-versa? What's your sway bar setup? If those two questions lead me to believe the car would understeer, maybe try 0.25 to 0.5 inches of rake. But if not, I'd go for ~5" from ground to jack point on a DC/EG...should be similar for EF.

djhedges Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Correct. 600F/550R. Stock front bar and I believe a 23mm rear. We ran the car 5 1/4" from the pinch weld with ~1/4" of rake. It was our first time out with the new springs and rear bar. I'd like a bit more rotation. Next we're going to take out some of the rear camber and maybe go a couple turns lower. Also check to see how much shock travel we have left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
