Hey i decided today that i want to adjust my kw coilovers, i was wondering if there is any kind of ratio b/w the front and back that i need to have keep in mind. And I know that lowering improves handling, but i wanted to know if theres a point where it makes the handling worse??
Thanks for any help!!!

The lower you have your car, the harsher the ride. When I first installed my coilovers, they were pretty low so the ride was very bumpy so I raised it. It's now about 2/3"-1" from fender to the top of the tires. The front is a tad lower than the rear, maybe 1/8th or 1/4th inch. The shocks are about 2/3rds stiff front and back. I actually had the rear at the stiffest setting but it was too bouncy so I dialed it back a bit. The way it is right now, I think my car handles and rides like a dream.
