Since owning my stagea, (2.5 years) Ive chopped out 3 inner drivers side front CV boots. My mechcanics and the cv repair place (alans cv is Ozzypark) are saying my car is too low. The boot is rubbing on its self and wearing out apparently. The current boot on the car has only lasted 4000 kays.

My ride height is 340mm form centre hub to guard.

Does anyone else have this problem and wat ride heights you running?

I run 360 front. you are too low. not just your cvs but handling too.

if you really want to run that low you need some suspension pickup point adjustments. but it would be a lot of money just to look good. or if you really just want to run that low and dont care about the handling just keep replacing cvs :D

Hi Duncan ,so what is BEST RIDE HEIGHT one said 360mm,another 350mm ,so WHO run`s WHAT :(

I have set mine at 350, but would like to know what`s most running ?,some Photo`s would be nice so EVERONE see`s what`s WHAT :bunny:

Cheer`s Chuckie ,

I run mine pretty high (360mm front, 350mm rear) because of the loads when towing. Plus the handling is excellent for such a big car like this anyway. I have bilsteins, whiteline springs and sway bars from sydneykid

Could no doubt run 10mm lower without issue....but like any skyline chasis if you go too low you are going to stuff roll centres, get too much camber, get bad bump steer, and bad angles on cvs and driveshaft.
