We are having some problems with our springs settling lower and lower. Despite starting at equal ride heights, after running a counter clockwise autocross course yesterday, the passenger front corner is now a full 1/4" lower than the driver front, creating some mild rub issues. Also, our total ride height shrunk nearly an additional 1/2" after racing this weekend (and this is after the car has had a few hours of street driving so the springs should have been settled already). Our car is shrinking!
Is anyone else having this problem? We are considering switching springs at all four corners and going with Hypercoils. If we had paid to have our car corner balanced, we would be out $500 due to the springs. This is getting frustrating! Plus, when we tried to raise the ride height this morning, we found the collars frozen again despite only having only the tiniest bit of pre-load. We'll have to put them in the vise again. Time to get new sleeves and try two collars rather than the set screw.
We have the red Konis and springs that come with the R package.
