For the benefit of 944Hybrids users there are two search functions available for you to use.
The purpose of this sticky is to explain the "Advanced Search" function because it is much more powerful and is the best choice when researching information.

Okay so to explain, I am using 3/8 inch spacers with Racers Edge camber plates and I don't seem to have enough shock threading to lower it enough for track use. Anyone have any thoughts.

Shorter springs! When I upgraded to 800 and 900, I had to run 6" springs.

What spring rates are you guys running? I have full Racers Edge and Elephant Racing Bearings and bushings. Leda Coilovers with 700 in the front and 900 in the back? Sound good or should I be doing something else?

this thread has nothing to do with crossmember spacers, engine height or hood clearance.

Just watch your radiator height when you get lower.

I learned the going through a dip from a parking lot to the street that my newer bigger radiator is the lowest piece in the front. It hit hard, and had to weld the top where the steel supports posts went through the aluminum radiator.

Lesson learned.
