I've seen alot of you using hte lowest perch for the rear shocks, Do you guys have any pics of these set-ups? Because I am going to be getting Koni Yellows, and i think the rear is a little too high for me w/ the Sports. THnx guys!!

 

i have the neuspeed sports with the koni yellows, basically the same set up as you. If you set the rear koni to the lowest perch, your rear end WILL be lower than your front end which is retarded. If i were to set all four of my koni to the lowest perch the car would simply not be driveable! (way too low). I have them set to the stock height and they look fine but like you said earlier the rear does seem a bit higher.

 

any pics?

 

Neuspeed Sport springs are NOT the same as H&R Sport. My car had more fender gap in back when it was on stock suspension. When I installed the springs and shocks with the spring perches on the stock settings, the rear still had more gap (twice as much as the front actually).

I set my rear perches to the lowest level, and right now all 4 corners of my car are within 1/8" of each other. Actually all 4 corners are exactly the same height except the rear left which is 1/8" lower. The difference is negligible, and totally unnoticeable.

Seems my school server is down at the moment so I will post pics later.

Is that the stock height? Because, in your 2nd pic, my rear gap looks smaller than yours....

here's mine w/ the rear perches 15mm lower than stock (~5/8"):

 

Looks very nice Patrick, are the front perches on stock?? Also, is the rear end noticably lower than the front?

 

no, like I said the top of the fender arch on all 4 corners is exactly the same all around, except the left rear is about 1/8" lower.

Front perches are stock height, only other option is a full inch lower (would not be driveable).

 

Well, looks good man. Do you drive all the time w/ the reaer perches on the lowest? If so, any more pics?

 

setting the rears on the lowest is a very good idea, trust me.
