So my 25k car came with Fortune Auto's 500. By the Honda measurements it sits around 160 at front (1.6" from mid range of stock) and at about 195 at the back (1.2" drop). Both back and front is maxed out on available height adjustment.
Roads around here are not greatest, with bunch of speed bumps I have to daily this car periodically, no serious tracking really planned.
I was reading up and it seems that Bilstein PSS(9) allows for about 0.5" adjustment from stock and seems to be quite comfortable, but I would really want to get as close as possible to stock height to stop scraping on every little bump and get better street comfort.
Any suggestions?

(I can only get 70k+ stock ones locally, which feels a bit excessive)

 

maybe ask fortune if there is a different set of cups?

 

contacted them. Only 2 options are: bigger preload (not sure how high i can go) or longer shock bodies (which is effectively new shocks).

 

Just add some preload.

Try free stuff first.

 

it's what i am planning. I don't like that they did not give me maximums though.

 

How much do you want to raise it? Like 1" or so?

That is a change of around 0.59" for the front shock. Or 0.56" for the rear shock

So just dial about 0.5" of preload in.

See if it does anything bad. I doubt it will.

 

Thank you sir. It's what I eas planning.

 

Just for continuity - ended up 1/4" lower than stock after messing with them. No bottoming out, feels nice on 14 clicks "from stiff". Not scraping my bumper on every little thing any more.
