DRM coilover height for best ride - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Prez1967 · 08-17-2023

I'll get new measurements tomorrow but when I talked to different people with lowered ZR1/Callaways about ride height, I was told:

Front: 25 3/4- 26"
Rear: 26 5/16-27"

Im pretty sure Im lower in both regards but im also running Ridetech coilovers. Front geometry should be the same (Ridetech shocks are Fox units made for this kit) and rear geometry is mounted differently from what I understand.

I've got no issues with bump or rebound and could likely go lower without detriment in ride quality but wanted to be able to clear a speed bump in my neighborhood.

Adjusted the rears up some more, I'm now right at 5" to the frame rail in front and right at 5.25-5.5" at the rear. The ride is better but still has some bounce, but nothing near as bad as it was before. I may just have to do stiffer rear springs as I really don't want to go any higher. Of course, I could just pull the whole setup and replace with VanSteel's DA4 max lowering setup.
