Coilover Ride Height

[sdwz_m3]

I'm looking to see what everyone is running in terms of ride height for their coilovers from fender to center of wheel. I've done some research and it looks like 13" F and 12.5" rear is a common dimension. Car is mostly track orientated, still running the divorced strut/spring in the rear. TIA

I'm at 13.25" F and 12.5" R. No rubbing lock to lock with 275's on 10's up front.

Prior I was at 12.5" F and 12" R. It rubbed everywhere but looked cool when parked.

From what I read in the old comprehensive suspension thread, usually anything lower than 13.5" F and 13" R will negatively effect suspension geometry. Also, you give up some suspension travel.

Travel will depend on what setup you have, but ofc, lowering will usually limit travel. Ian professes 13.5"/13, but I can't remember where he got that from, maybe Dan? but then I don't know where it came from originally. Also remember that, unless you have CMP RSFB, if you had plates put in, your rear is already compromised by an 1/8"-3/16.

Ran the 13.5/13.0 combo for awhile, then decided to take it up a half inch all around because I was worried about bottoming out on some of the roads around here. Have been happy w the compromise and I -think- it rides a bit smoother.
