Default Re: DRM coilover height for best ride

Not sure on the spring rate, they seem fairly soft and if I remember correctly 425/250 was the common spring rate for DRMs. The problem with going too low is the car becomes really "bouncy" on bumps. I went a little too low on the previous steel blue car, and just lived with it. Scott had this one all the way down, and it was noticeably worse for the bounce. Options are either go with a stiffer spring or raise it back up. Going with a stiffer spring and running low should really be matched by changing shocks to something designed for the shorter travel. This isn't going to be a track car (at least not often), so I'd rather keep the FX3 and raise it back up to a height where it's comfortable. It may take me a few weeks, but I'll keep updating here so you can see my results.
