    Unhappy Ride height

    Hi, would like to seek opinion for ride height for front and rear of our Mirage touge specification. I recently got myself a coilover with adjustable heights and soft hard, I have it adjust same height front and rear (measurements from the chassis under the car), rear 2 fingers (distance from tire to fender) , front looks higher, however I'm still not satisfied with the handling as compared to using sport springs only before this with mere 1 finger height at the rear and front

    Is it because of the height, or is it I got the roll center "adjusted" poorly..

    Its likely because the spring rates of the coilovers you are using are lower than the sport springs you had on the car before. I assume you're using tein coilovers which are known to be a bit soft. What springs did you have on the car?

    I got the sport spring second hand which was from a suspension service shop which made custom springs (was told front rear 4k). I got the coilover from another shop call ftuned, their spring rate are 4k front rear as well, so I'm guessing it is a height problem? Hmm..

    Hi bro,

    I am considering getting coil overs from FTuned. In what way was the FTuned equipped handling was unsatisfactory to you?

    Thanks,

    It's not the coilover problem, it's the way how you set/tuned, tyre and alignment specs. and also the driver. Cheers
