Suspension height differences between 2003 - 2006 CL9

[tenji`]

i have noticed that my 05 when on stock suspension sat lower than most other euros i bumped into...

just found it odd.

You'll find that the drivers rear is approx.10mm lower than the passenger rear.Thats the way it is stock.I checked with Honda service.

Oh is that right? that must explain why there was a 1cm height difference between driver front and rear vs the passenger side. When i installed my coilovers, the installer had to make the driver height 10mm heigher to match the passenger side - he thought i had been in an accident that caused the chassis to be different height but that couldnt be the case because my car was brand new.

So how should the suspension be set up with coilovers? because the spring rate is stiffer should we be setting the height of the front lower than the rear because it is FWD? so that the front gets more grip? right now with my buddyclub suspension, the rear is still lower slightly than the front...whats the best setup? has any1 played around?

Mine was set up using corner balancing and the driver's side is still 10mm lower and the rear of the car is also lower than the front.

Oh really? thats interesting...how does the suspension feel after corner balancing? do you think its worth it and how much did u pay for it if u dont mind me asking?

Corner balancing makes it so that your car's ability to turn left and right at the limit is equal. You don't feel any difference on the street. There are many that go on trackdays without corner balancing and they do fine too. Price I think it is about $200 - 250? Not sure how much as mine was done as part of the coilover install a few years ago.
