Dumb Question Thread - No Flaming Allowed

Tagging on to the question of ride height, I keep seeing the suggestion of 13.5F/13R on this forum in regards to aftermarket suspension, why such a difference?

I have TCK's, I wonder about doing 13.5 all around, or 13.25 all around, why have less travel in the rear?

Also, I personally don't like the asthetics of such a noticeable ride height difference front to rear.

AFAIK...

The front fenders just have more clearance designed into them to account for steering. So, as far as the chassis itself is concerned, equal front and rear fender gaps would mean more rake. Stock rake or less will always mean more fender gap in front than in rear.

Thank you for this.
Also thank you Obioban for writing it.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with Dinan springs.

I've had the Dinan springs for a couple of years and they ride great paired with the Konis, but the rear always seemed too high. I've had set of Eibachs I picked up a while back and recently threw just the rears, since it's such an easy swap. It dropped the rear just enough to not to look so raked forward. I'm not as impressed with the ride, the Dinan were a bit stiffer, maybe a few clicks on the dampers will help, but that is more involved with rear konis than I want to deal with at the moment. Subframe is coming out soon, I'll deal with it then.
