Does anyone know what the official ride height of the S2k is from the factory? I took a measurement of mine from the wheel center point to the bottom of the fender and it read

14 3/8ths for both the Front Left & Right

14 5/8ths for both the Rear Left & Right

These measurements were taken prior to installing my new H&R Coil-Overs in preparation for corner balancing next week. I just wanted to see if anyone else observed similar measurements on there car while in stock form just in case I had a brain fart while measuring my car.

Thanks

 

Those measurements mean nothing. I originally made the mistake of measuring from the ground to the fender through the center of the wheel. Honda measures ride height from ground to center of alignment bolts on lower control arms.

OEM specs: Front = 192mm - 202mm....... Rear = 220mm - 230mm

That's approximately 7.5"-8.0" in front and 8.625"- 9" in the rear. These are the numbers for AP1's.

 

For my stock AP2, I get similar results (our actual fender reference point could differ).

F: ~14 5/16"
R: ~14 7/16"

 

Do you guys know which ways is correct (official) to measure the ride height? From the edge of fender to center cap, to the ground or just make a simple to measure the GAP between the edge of the fender to the tire (same psi level) when you lowering the car

 

As Skip mentioned, the 'official' measurement is from the ground to the center of the alignment bolts (forward facing on the front, rear facing on the rear) on the control arms.

 

^ Yep, that's the only way that's independent of tires and rims.

A convenient measure that's independent of tires only (but not rims) is from the bottom of the rim to the fender.

 

I agree this is a way more convenient and reasonable.
But I know some people usually lowering the car by just dependent the distance (gap) between the edge of fender and the top of the tire, is that wrong? I know if set the ride height that way, as long as the ride height balance, it looks good though

 

Ground to chassis is affected by tire size.
Ground to fender is affected by tire size and fender fit/shape.
Tire to fender is affected by tire size and fender fit/shape.
Wheel center to fender is affected by fender fit/shape.

 

Just wondering you guys have the same situation with me? My S2K's front-right always lower than other three corner about a 1/4 inch! No matter I've a lowering springs or the damper kit. I'm thinking what cause the front-right corner more heavier than the other I'm still not so sure is good idea to lower the front-left corner ONLY about 1/4 inch to make it balance though

 

Does anyone have the numbers for the AP2?

I'm getting my car raised this friday cause it is a bit too low, and I need the stock ride height so that I can lower the car exactly 1 inch from OEM height.

Thanks,
Andre
