    stassis street sport question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I heard that the street sports at one time had the problem where the rears would not go back to stock height. they werent long enough or something(not really sure). i live in CT where we get lots of snow in the winter and i need to be able to raise the car back up to stock height. i heard the rear street sports could not do this. is this the case?

    STaSIS can provide a 1" thick metal spacer to allow the car to be raised above OEM Sport ride height. I am currently running the 1" spacers on my car now.

    i think you could. i am in the middle of the adjustment range right now and i am at oem sport height. you should be able to get to oem 4x4 or very close to oem 4x4 status.

    you do realize that everytime you raise/lower the car you will need to have the alignment checked. plus if you are not doing it yourself you will need to pay for the labor of raising/lowering the car if you change it between summer/winter ride heights.

    if you want oem height you can also check out the H&R Softsports (oem height with higher spring rate) and match those to a set of Koni shocks. just an idea..

    It depends on the year. 2002 were the lowest.

    i am at 25.5"F and 25.625"R for ride height. this is measured from the ground to the center of the fender.
