Changing Ride Height to stock 10AE or Infini Height on FC
I acquired this FC GXL about a few weeks back and I'm trying to revert some of the car's settings to their factory-like settings like the ride height to something like a 10th AE FC or Infini. The previous owner installed BC Racing Coilovers and is running 17'' Desmond Regamasters MPs(I think the tires are 205/45 or 55/17). Can any 10AE or Infini owner with their suspension stock tell me their ride height by measuring from the bottom of the wheel to the fender?
Thank you for the information. Do you know if the 10AE or Infini ride height is the same or similar?
the 10AE used the same bits as any other US 86-88 turbo car, so it should be the same.
the Infini 4 might be a little different. Mazda doesn't give a ride height spec, but we have pretty much everything else.
first change was the tires, the US T2 was 205-60-16's and the Infini used 205-55-16's.
for springs the Infini just used the shortest stock springs, if you look in the shop manual there are a couple of springs listed for different models, and positions (the front left is usually longer), and the Infini just uses the shortest ones
also every stock FC i've ever measured is higher in the rear by about an inch than the front. then they all vary too, it depends on options, condition etc
if we're just going by looks, you'd raise the front just a little, and the rear a little plus about an inch

Thanks for the info. Really informative. Do you know any websites I could buy stock shocks or springs from any turbo II or possibly from Infini S4?

Mazdatrix may still have stock stuff but a lot of it is NLA. You'll just have to look on their site. You may think about putting softer springs on your coilovers and then using the information from this thread set your ride height to stock TII height.
