Default Re: Ride Height

Originally posted by dreambrother
I hope this is somewhat on topic with the Pro 4. I was trying to setup a good ride height for the car. I drive it in front of my house on apshalt that has some loose rock. I set the height to 6mm in the back, and 5.5mm in the front. From what I've been reading, 5-6 is the norm for asphalt. I checked my Pro 3 height, and it was around 8mm front to back. I set it this high because it was scraping a lot. If 5-6mm is the norm, and I'm using around 8mm, am I measuring wrong? I'm using the Hudy board and ride height tool. Also, is it common when setting the height for one spring collar to be significantly different in height than the other? For instance in the front, the left collar is threaded a lot lower than my right (on my Pro 3), but the height in the front (left and right side) is the same. Can't remember how the Pro 4 collars looked like...don't rememeber . Thanks!
ride height cant say cuz i dont drive a pro-4 in front on rocks.. but the diffrent collar settings can be due to a tweak chassis , shock shafts not being the same length and even low oil in the shocks ... id chk that out and maybe run your ride height at 7 front and 7 rear ... wow!! your street must be pretty bumpy and full of rocks..
