I have my street setup and then at the track i play with it until i get a good setting. I dont mess with the hight on the track because that also changes your alignment.
Good Day

Here is mine with H&R Coilovers

A nice lowered pic from MotD this passed weekend...
Don't know exactly how low, as we (LuckyDog Garage and I) didn't measure. We lowered and lowered and lowered, and then raised it until it didn't rub or scrape on hard corners. I'm using Megan Coilovers.
Still got a wee bit of rub on the Dragon, but it's the Dragon, c'mon now.
So when track days come, it will be easy to tighten the suspension with a few clicks using the Megan damping system to avoid rubbing on the track.

I can't put the M7 X-treme Hood scoop on with no hood now. Can I? And I just can't tape it to my Cooper hood.
