[QUOTE="ssmann, post: 477581, member: 18956"] Bro, ride height is really a personal choice and so is the use of chasis and ride strengthening aids e.g. strut bars, thicker arb etc. From my personal perspective and experience, the use of strut bar which is not strong enough can lead to a poor driving feel, eg slight vibration in steering, poor suspension performance etc. The use of thicker arb's will assist in ride handling, but at a compromise of a harsher ride due to lesser flex in the body....very very firm. Some love it and some hate it. So it all depends on what YOU personally enjoy and are comfortable with. On ride height, when the car is used on the street and as a daily drive, it is advisable to have min ground clearance and a sufficient base for play especially in the front. The rear is less important and thus can be lower. However you would like to balance the profile of the car i.e. front and rear drop are equal. Again, these are my personal opinions based on trial and error, spending loads of money testing different set ups largely due to listening to poor advise. In my experience, YOU must understand if you are after looks or performance. If looks, do whatever you like to make it look good at a compromise of handling, unless you spend super huge bucks on tuned systems. If performance, then there will be a sacrifice on looks, albeit not at all bad. My 2 kupangs. [/QUOTE]
