After mounting my new wheel/tire combo it's become clear that my car is too low. I need to raise it up (Buddy Club N+) and I'm struggling with an accurate way to make sure the ride height is the same. In the past I've always measured from the center of the wheel to the top of the fender. But this gets involved when you need to put the wheel back on and lower the car each time. Do you guys have a way to measure ride height on the coilover itself? Any other suggestions?

 

Just find a spot on the coilover to measure from. Like from the bottom of the shock to the bottom of the spring perch.

 

i measure the coilover height change on the coilover. for example, if i know i want to lower by 1/4", I mark 1/4" on the coilover with tape, adjust the coilover so i lower by 1/4", then i'm done.

if you're just asking where to measure your coilovers to check ride height all the way around, you have many options. fender to floor. jack points to floor. middle of wheel to fender.

 

adjust the height so they're the same. find a point of measure and keep it consistent. then corner balance the car. just because the ride height is doesn't mean the weights are the same. I had my car corner balanced and the weights were way off, despite the fact that the coils were set the same on both sides
