Can you raise your car higer than stock with ground controls?

Informationis for RallyX civic

 

yes you can, but I wouldn't

 

you could also order an inch taller spring if you run out of threads on the sleeve. Tell them your going to rally it and see what they think the best setup is.

 

If you do raise it you will have positive camber

 

stock hieght is plenty of clearance for rally-X, just use DA teg springs that are a 1" drop so you dont actually lower the car but get stiffer rates

Get your smart *** comment out of here newb. My point is exactly as stated.

If you raise the car you will have positive camber.


And you are correct if you lower the car you will have negative camber. But most people that care about tires and traction will fix that problem with a camber kit

 

could a camber kit be used to correct positive camber? In a lifted civic I'm only talking about raising it about 1"

 

once you do it post pics id like to see it, btw what else are you doing to prep your hatchy for rally?

 

yeah, some camber kits can correct from +1 deg. to -1 deg, and some are just for correcting things like -3 deg (large drops). Just check the specs of the camber kit you want to buy and make sure it cna handle it. lots of camber kit dealers have info that shows for what drop (or raise, i guess) their product works if you are not sure how many degrees off you will be.

 

I was thinking about doing this too. I deliver pizzas and hit some nasty roads sometimes, it'd be nice to have a couple extra inches ground clearance. Plus, it'd look unique.

autopower roll bar
b16 swap with lsd
disc brake conversion
kumho rally tires
roof vent
skid plates
sparco speed seats
strut bars
that the basics of it

 

the roof vent is a little extravagent for rally-x. just remember, Don't use a front sway bar and set your rear susp as stiff as possible

Why not use a front sway bar??

 

I'd assume to let you slide around turns better...

it's only going to be used for rally across for about another six months until I get the kinks worked out then I'm going to move to stage rally's

it will cause major understeer on dirt and gravel. if your right tire is on a large bump the sway bar will start to lift the left wheel and you loose traction.
