    I red some past thread about lowering a 348. I think I've learned enough information on how to do it and the formula how many turns are needed to lower the car. Right now the front bumper sits at 7 1/2 inch from the ground, definitely too high, the car does have a kind of 4x4ish look, so my next project will be to lower it exactly 1 inc to 6 1/2 . To do so I will need to turn the front coils 11 times and the rear 13.5 times.
    What is your opinion ? Would that be a good high for a regular road, no track use ?

    As a general 'visual' rule of thumb, the center of the wheel should also be the center of the wheel well arc ......... :)

    Factory ride height should be:

    Front 162-171mm
    Rear 182-191mm

    Measured at the center of the pivot bolt at the lower rear of the lower A-arm to the flat and level road surface.

    Note this gives 4.2" of ground clearance and about an inch more at the nose, but still its way low.

    6 1/2 front should then be a good high ...
