Dynamic camber will be affected of course with any ride height change, but that can be some what eliminated by dialing in negative static camber. Almost everything in alignments is a give and take relationship. (i.e. Tire wear versus performance)

Like I said in my first post ride height should be as low as possible. You can't go beyond a certain point without running into issues like tires rubbing, scraping over speed bumps or dramatic dynamic suspension changes like you mentioned. When you start running into problems obviously you have gone too far and need to raise the car back up a little.

 

Yeah... and for an Impreza that isn't driven exclusively on the track, 2" is too far. As I said before, 3/4"-1 1/2" is the optimum drop for 95% of all applications by users of this board.

 

Alright, current setup. Lowered 2" front damper setting is 15 out of 30. Lowered 1.5" rear with damper setting of 25 out of 30. It seems to be taking tight corners considerably better.

BAN SUVS- when the rear inside wheel started lifting was in a tight right corner with a down slope towards the outside so the inside rear was the highest part of the car but with the updated setup it seems to stay down much better.

I'll be getting a bigger RSB soon so hopefully that will help out just a touch.

Thanks for your help guys.

 

A bigger RSB will cause more inside wheel lift.

 

Ever heard of Stance? Check out our site! I've had nothing but good reviews for STANCE coilovers. comfortable for daily, competitive for track! Different spring rates are available when you're ordering the coilovers. As long as they're 3k within the spring rates it comes with, higher or lower, you dont have to revalve them. But if you have questions, feel free to PM me or give me a call at the store!

Jake did you get your car aligned yet? Check out Speedware.

They'll corner balance it for you costs more but they also made sure my ride height was equal. They got my wagon to 50/50 split with my fat ****. I highly recommend them.

 

+100 for Stance. A friend has them in his STi, and they were way more comfy than my Cuscos just driving around. Hasn't tried them at the track yet. But definately a deal for monotube two-way adjustable.

 

Stance isn't double adjustable. Unless you mean height adjustable.

 

Sorry sensei yes, I meant two-way height adjustable.

 

Thanks, I haven't had time to get it aligned. I'll give them a call.

 

I thought the bigger RSB would flatten the rear end in hard turns

 

It does, but the way it does it is by lifting on the rear wheel so more weight is on the outside wheel. If you are currently lifting an inside rear wheel on hard tight corners, a bigger RSB will make it worse.
