I coded my rear (actually Evan did) to be bit higher than the front and I do not think or feel the rear is any stiffer than it was before. I lowered the front with a coilover setup from JRZ suspension and left the rear bags with their supplied damper for the rear. No errors and loving the fact the self leveling suspension levels out the rear so even when I had four passengers and luggage in the back, the car was the same level as when I was alone.

 

Just checking in. Got a set of style 124 wheels square set up as was original on the car. going for 10mm hub centric hub spacers and still would be interested in the length of the rods to lower the rear. If I read the specs of the OEM rods they are 7.5mm, so will the 6mm length drop the rear about 1/2 to 3/4"?

Thanks

 

Hi, that's a very good question. Unfortunately, I cannot answer it. Since the weather turned cold in Chicago, I've had no desire to get under the car, so I haven't done anything. I was thinking you had to go longer in order to let the car think it is riding too high and lose some air in the bags to bring the car down...I also seem to remember reading that left and right rods won't have the same length, so don't match them. Sorry I could not be much more help at the moment. I am hoping to retake this project in 2-3 weeks, once the weather warms up above 50, we're going to have sleet towards the end of the week!

 

does anyone have an idea what the length of the "head light leveling rod" have to be to drop the rear so the are is level with a B8 / H&R sport spring setup in the front?

I guess I could ball park it... The stock/original is 71.5mm

thanks for the help in advance

 

Just checking in on if anyone has the correct lengths for the rear rods to match up the sport (lowered) fronts?

 

were you ever able to get the length of the lowered link? I have all the parts just would like to know what distance between the to bolts needs to be. Thanks

 

I've never done it...yet. I had some issues with my front coilovers seizing, thus I cannot adjust ride height. I am getting new, and longer, shock shafts by the end of the month...I hope to get this finally done by then.

 

Not sure how much lowering you're looking for but if it's this look, I can check on the lengths for you by the weekend.

 

 

How is the ride on the ISC coilovers compared to stock?
