Suspension tunning vs ride height

[Blackness]

I need to raise my car by 5-10cm. The front bar is too low. I was keen to do it my self, as I have height adjustable coil overs, but I dont have any C spanners (I don't like using a hammer and a screw driver).

I was going to get a shop to do it, to adjust the ride height it would take them about an hour@ $69/hour.

I was then told this would only effect the looks (and save the front bar). to retain or improve the handling the supsension would need to be balanced using weights , which would take about 3 hours @ $69/hour.

Question:

Has anyone else had their suspension tunned and was it worth it?

Lifting the car by 3" will NOT change how much weight is at each corner ???? Sounds like someone is trying to rip you. I did my own suspension tune using some industrial scales at the local transport shop and found that the car sat really weird as one side is higher than the other and it didn't feel any different to before so I just put it back to normal. Just make sure it sits the same height on both sides with a touch more height in the rear.

if you go the corner weight thing make sure that they do it with you in the car so when your on the track the car sits perfetly flat

i love people that fully"sic" adjustable suspension and lower it all the way thus making the handeling shithouse.

got it done properly and it will handel a treat.

if you go too low you get the standard nissan drift setting eg no grip at the rear

Thanks guys

I am not sure if anyone actually tuned the suspension before, its likely the car was just dumped..... so even though it might only be raised slightly (1"-3") at least I would know it was done properly ... I am pretty sure it hits the bump stops every so often

losing the negative rear camber drift set up will be great for the track and wet weather ...... still love the sideways motion though ... so hopefully there could be a compromise or maybe a need for more power .....

Yeah I need my HKS shit softened and perhaps raised. Way too stiff, too much scrapage. Ideally you need to bring it to the place who distributes it.
