It looks good in this photo but sometimes it seems slightly low.

Advice?
Leave it, raise it, raise back, raise front?
I can assure you it isn't going lower. Although I can confirm the rear can go 10mm lower and still not scrape anything.

[edit] Actually I probably should get a better photo, from memory that ground isn't quite level and it actually sits very slightly lower than that.


I say as long as you don't scrub I would leave the height as it is cause it looks really nice mate :D

Currently scrubs in the front if i get a large bump at decent speed or if I go up a driveway while turning. I have to be super careful going in my driveway, a little of the lip has been bent from that. Guard rolling tomorrow then will see. If I still have any scrubbing then it'll go up a little.

Sounds good mate and I shall wait for pics and your thoughts after getting the guards rolled :)

If the ultrex's are 18x8 +42 you should have similar fitment to mine above.

Mine are 19x7.5 +45 with 235/35/19.
With your 3mm of offset difference and 225 vs 235 you probably should have a tiny bit more room than me or else about the same.

I can run the rears as low as the coilovers will go, which is about 10mm lower than in those pics (note that on proper flat ground it sits a couple mm lower than that pic).

I had the fronts about 10mm higher and nothing rubbed at all. Currently getting a little amount of rubbing in some cases as mentioned, that a few mm up would fix. I'm hoping guard rolling tomorrow will fully fix that.

Not sure what the ground clearance is as I haven't checked.

Very nice Ain and I think the height is perfect and if I owned an STI I would want to be able to have some fun in it :)

Also do you know that height the car is at the moment?

Basically dead level with the arches running 225/40/18 on the stock enkei's.
All is legal except for part of the exhaust near the rear wheels, think it's about 90mm, front lip is about 110mm from memory

Guards rolled. I had a couple of hard corners plus driving normally into my driveway instead of super carefully and no more rubbing.
