Adjusting spring height?
I just installed the Ground Control system on my '90 Integra, where do you guys measure the height from?
My starting point was the highest spot on the fender trim to the center of the hub. I ordered 10 springs so I could stay close to stock height. From that measuring point on the fender trim, I've go 14.5 inches in the front and 14-3/8 inches in the back, but if I measure from the ground to the tripod points just under the side of the car, I'm still a 1/2 inch higher in the back. I don't mind if I'm a little higher at the rear....but maybe a 1/4 inch.
Where are you guys measuring the level from?
Thanks

Re: Adjusting spring height?
Body roll? I've already driven it. I'm getting way less body roll than i was...and now the front and rear are rolling the same. I was already getting 75mph thru 30 mph marked corners, and I could've pushed it faster. I did this mostly because new rear (stock height) springs are completely unavailable for the '90, we've got too many speed bumps, etc. that I don't want to bottom out on. I don't race this car, I just want it to be capable of driving the way I want to every once and a while. I love blowing away people that come up behind me and tailgate. We have some beautiful curving country highways in my area. Speed limits usually at 60 and corners marked down from 45 to 20. I have been quite please with the car with AGX on the front and excel g on the rear. Now with New AGX on the front and Tokicos on the back and Eibach springs and adjusted to level...so far just a few corners shows me it'll be much better.
Thanks for the replies!
