R32 Gtr Hsd Coilovers, What Height?

[GarettH]

Hey guys I own a 1991 R32 GTR I recently just put HSD Monotube coilovers on. I currently have 18x10 +18 Work XD9's and the guards are not currently rolled but will be soon. I max'd the coils front and rear and the front were about 323mm from the center to the top arch and the rear is 330mm from the center to the arch. Now I know of the consequences of running a GTR to low, Bump steer, CV boots and the drive shaft being on an acute angle and loosing HP. The answer I can't find is at what height this becomes a problem, I like the look of the car running 330mm front and rear for height just wondering if you guys think this is to low and the following problems will occur, Thanks!

Closer to 345 and 355mm is correct.

Skdneykid used to say that 350 front 340 rear is about as low as you could go before it all went to poo (and that requires a bunch of adjustable bushes or equivalent to align), but it sounds like you're going for a look not for performance, right?

[GarettH]

Really wow I thought it was closer to 340 on both, and I'm after best of both worlds. I like the look of having a lower car but don't want to loose performance, I might try to get away with 340/340 and see how it drives

Fair enough, but I think that setup may make the GTR understeer more than it would at 350f 340r. Remember that front guards have a larger opening to deal with the turning wheel, so you would expect to have a larger number at the front.

The problem with the HSD's is that you can't really get close to 340 front or rear, the highest I have gotten mine (Although a GTS-T, not sure if GTR coils have the same issue) is around 330 eye brow height. Although I have a bunch of adjustables to compensate
