Hey everyone,

Just had a quick question, I was unable to find an answer anywhere.
Does any one have the measurements of a stock suspension/tire setup FD? I'm looking for the distance from the center of the rim to the lip of the fender in the front and back.
Or from the lip of the rim to the lip of the fender works also for both.

I'll be changing out suspension.
Previous owner slammed the car to the ground so I have no idea what stock should be to help base where I adjust the ride height going forward.
Thanks in advance.

 

What you're probably looking for is closer to the ride height. You can measure that from a known point on the car to the ground. This post may help.

That works too, thanks for the info!

 

Are you going to OEM suspension components or coil-overs?

 

Coil-overs.
Wanted an idea of where stock sits so I can aim for the middle of where its at now.
Car is way to low to the ground as is. I swear it scrapes if you drive over a leaf.

 

FWIW, I'm glad you rescued it from that version of sports car hell.

Which coil-overs are you putting on? I'm leaning toward the Tein set. I've heard good things about them and being able to adjust them from the cockpit seems attractive.

 

Sadly I'm not very fancy.
I'm not looking for anything high end as the car is mostly a weekend drive with vary rare track time for fun.
So I picked up a set of Yonaka coilovers. Seems no one here has run them. So I guess I'll be the guinea pig.
I know they have been favorably reviewed in the FR-S/BRZ world and I've rode in a FR-S that had them and I had no complaints.
We'll see.
