    sky high ride height

    Merknad 2019-09-16 114936.jpg
    (Yes, I should adjust the front light lids)

    As you can see of the picture the car sits very high.
    It's about 35cm in front and about the same in the rear. Measured from the centre of hub to edge of fender.

    Since I don't have it registered I don't have the opportunity to go for a ride to 'adjust'.

    I have changed all bushings in the control arms, LSD with new bushings, new sway-bars with new bushings and mounted a set of Ohlins coilovers.
    I would guess it would maybe get 10-20mm lower after a ride not 30-40mm, even though I have changed a lot more components than with a coilover swap.
    Max lowering on the coilovers are 17mm in front and 10mm in rear according to the documentation from Ohlins.

    What is your experience and thoughts?


    Edit:
    It's worth mentioning that the alignment are way off.
    I did torque down the suspension with the control arm jacked up so the car had no weight on the closest jack stand
