90 crx si suspension adjustment
Hi guys, I have always had trouble adjusting the ride height on my crx. I have the koni/ground control set up and a traction bar up front.
To get even ride height I need to adjust my driver side coil just about to where it has preload, then the pass side is an inch and a quarter to half below the preload point.
I would actually like to lift it a bit higher for clearance, but i cant do so without having heavy preload on one side and a loose coil on the other.
Does this sound like a warped frame or front crossmember thing? Or maybe something goofy with suspension components? Everything straight in was able to get my traction bar on without issue. I would think that a warped frame would cause issues there right?
Thanks!

Re: 90 crx si suspension adjustment
sounds normal.
cars dont have even weight distribution. weight over each corner is not equal.
and yes, a 30 year old chassis not straight anymore. it spent a majority of its running time with 1 driver on one side. right turns are tighter than left turns.
bushings sag, metal bends.
its expected.
if you want to get higher, just keep rotating the perch up. ignore the preload. it wont make a difference.
