Default Coilover Help

I just installed my T1R B MAX coilovers. I was wondering if there is a place you guys know that could set my ride height, alignment and dampening for my car?

IMHO, you can probably do the ride height with a tape measure yourself. If you need a reference point, let me know since my S2000 is completely stock. You can also play with the dampening setting since it can change with your driving style and situation.

As far as the alignment goes, I took my previous lowered vehicle down to Network alignment over in Gilbert and they had some knowledgeable people on modified suspensions - at an extra charge off course. I have also heard some good things about Maverick Racing over in Mesa. They do racing alighment setups the old-fashioned way- but they are still very acurate

i adjusted all that stuff myself.. what i did first was adjust the front wheel enough to cover the gap between the top of my wheels to the fender.. then i measured the coilover and just copied it to the other front side. and then the same for the rear.. keep in mind the rear fenders are lower than the front so they wont be the same all around.. then i just double checked it all old school style by measuring the bottom of the car to the ground and made sure they were all the same..

for the dampers i just played with it a lot really its all personal preference i have the Apex N1's and its a 36way adjustable and i started about 20 now im at 25.. cuz i wanted it a little stiffer..

for alignment i just took it to a local place... paid like $69.00 for it..

but good luck with it all
