    KW - Installation Values

    Looking for feedback from those who have already installed their front/rear coil-overs before I start mine this coming weekend;

    Basically I after the final "A" front and rear dimensions achieved for a given drop (the actual amount of measured thread below or between the rings) . My vehicle is a Magnum R/T.

    Now the complicated part; I want to keep the vehicle level front-to-rear the idea being I am way more interested in cornering than jacked. So if you could give me your numbers and fudge for what it would take to get it near level, I would be very appreciative.

    I really want to reach the bottom limit of adjustment, in other words as low as I can without compromizing the inner/outer fenders. I would be game to curl the fender flanges, but for now would like to see where I can get without this extra step.

    Or, please point me to a shop (like a phone number) who has installed numorous sets on Maggies so I can pick their brain....

    Thanks in advance guys...

    I had mine at 1 1/4" for the fronts and 3/4" for the rears. I had an AWD. Here's some pics.

    Go an 1" front and back, that'll drop you over all an 1" and you won't rub. If you think that's too low, bump it up 1/4. Luckly the fronts are easy to adjust, it's rear that are a PITA.

    Here is a pic of the rear set at 1", his fronts are about .8 I think. Contact Dupie24 and ask him what he set the fronts at.

    Thanks hops23, your pics are not present however;

    Are you happy with the clearance, in other words do you think you could lower it more without ill-effects?

    That was low enough for me. I would bottom out the front at times if I'm not watching the road. A slight dip at moderate speed would do it sometimes.

    the search feature has a lot of information

    mine is 1-3/4 front and 3/4 rear, perfectly level

    My favorite: your facts are flawed and experience sucks.....as does your attitude.

    I did 35mm front, 25mm rear, which I think is the max recommended.
