Just did some measurements. I'm at 23 1/2 inches in the front and 24 inches in the back. Looks like it's time to go lower...

and UCA noise? I hate how my FF type 1's make my UCA hit on the smallest bumps... and i'm at 23.75 up front.
And hey, how are the AMR's holding up? ever figured out the clunking noise?

Umm, sometimes my UCAs hit but it's not that much on decent roads. I was thinking of having my AMRs revalved to have really aggressive bump dampening so that way they won't even compress that much. On sweeping bumps they're fine but on a quick bump it'll hit.
They are holding up well. I was talking to Andy and he was telling me about the way he designed the dampers and what the adjustment is actually used for. He said that the only reason dampers should have adjustment settings is to be able to quickly change the rates on the suspension without altering the valving, IE: if you go up in spring rate then you just crank the adjustment a little stiffer to compensate. On full soft they don't really make noise, just in the back, where the end links touch. Other than that they're sick. I think once I get my new wheels I'll be dropped more with them stretched tires I'll be throwing on them.

Oh nice.
Yeah I've been hearing some good things about the FF 2.5 with the ERS springs. A guys drops at 23.5 and has no UCA noise... haha
I just want an all around stiffer and sportier suspension.

I think mine could be stiffer but my girlfriend HATES it haha. She's always complaining saying it's way too bumpy and that she feels like my car is going to fall apart. Guess it's stiff for some people.
Andy is thinking if I feel it could be stiffer, then I should up the spring rates to 16/14. Don't know if that will be good for my tires though. Also, if you know anyone that does metal work, you should see if you can get parts of your strut towers raised so that UCAs have more room to move.

My dad used to be a welder for a long time, and has alot of experiece with that. but I know a couple guys that own a body shop.
But I was thinking about just cutting a hole in my strut tower and reinforcing it with some metal around the hole. or just make the tower maybe an inch taller if possible..

Wow that looks really clean. I think I'd close close it off just for added structural support.
