best height?

[solid]

so ive had d2's for a while now and i had to raise my car because it was way too low. i was wondering what everyone thought the best height or lowering is?

That's a good question, I think I may ask the same thing in the suspension form but I think your best bet would be to go for the best mix of keeping your control arm and tie rod parallel to ground in the front, and keeping your lower control arm parallel in the rear to minimize bump-steer/camber changes during suspension travel...although that probably not to much lower then stocked if your more intent on the slammed look

^ I agree. If you want a more aggressive stance and don't want to sacrifice your suspension geometry, you're looking at replacing just about everything save for the lower control arms... not because the stock stuff will break, necessarily, but because OEM equipment really isn't that adjustable! Check out Driftfactory or SPL Parts, both of which are NICO sponsors and have a great selection of adjustable suspension components for our cars.

All that said, most people slam their cars, and with the exception of bad negative camber in the rear, have no real problems with the stock components. Then again, most people aren't too concerned with their suspension in the first place.

well from what I gather if you truely wanna slam your car ajustability and strenth arnt the only factors...with a greater angle of your control the end attached to the steering knuckle is closer to the top of the arc it travels on, With the arm parallel witht he ground any vertical movement will yeld negligable lateral movement of the tire, however as your closer to the top or bottom of this arc (lowered or raised respectively) while going down the road any vertical movement of the wheel/hub will result in greater horizontal movement of the tire. I wouldnt think this scrubbing back and forth of the tires could be very good for grip/treadlife (even if it might not drasticly decrease it) another issue along the same lines is the angles of the tie rods, and unwanted toe changes (bump steer)
