3200 coilovers

[SachaP]

just wondering if anyone out there has toyed around with the ride height adjustment on their 3200 suspension. I am particularly interested to know how much the car can be lowered simply by adjusting the settings on the coilovers. While the radiator is out of my 3200 to have a repair, I was thinking I would lower the ride height. I recently purchased a rather fine set of 19" wheels and am finding that the car looks a little "tall", the gap between arch and the top of the tyre needs to be bridged. I know of a place with a Hunter machine fairly close to me where I would then get the geometry sorted out. Thoughts/advice would be much appreciated.

Our AC sits quite low, I think they lowered that about 15mm compared to the standard GT and if you have 19" wheels as well, get it lowered..!! You can wind them down quite a bit, but make sure the fronts don't touch the arch when turning on bumps.

Many thanks, and noted about turning on bumps. Threads now liberally sprayed with penetrating oil, to make winding up/down easier.

Mines been lowered slightly, the front wheels catch when turning a corner if the road is bumpy, and its not that low either

There is a thread on here somewhere regarding lowering. Rears are reasonably easy, fronts are that bit more difficult due to space limitations. Now you have 19" wheels you will be restricted due to wheel catching on the fronts, so don't go too low.
