By help from Jeff Roeland at Formula Dynamics USA and Dean Hendrikse at Americas Best Automotive in Atlanta, I have lowered my GranSport. I am pleased with the final result. Not too stiff and yet much flatter in the curves. From my about 200 miles home trip, I found Jeff being quite right with his recommendation:
My advise is once you've found a ride height that is appropriate for your taste, be sure to put some miles on the vehicle as the Skyhook has to relearn the new heights and it may take 100-200 miles or so for that to happen. Once the car has adequate time to adjust, you will see that the car is quite firm but not too rigid. We've only changed your spring rate by 25%.
However, during the installation phase, executed by the primer alignment shop in Atlanta (does all the work for Ferrari, Maserati and Aston Martin and more), we experienced some difficulties due to lack of instructions. That said, Jeff has been excellent to work with and will for any of you who whishes to go this route include text and possible sketches to assist with the installation.
My new ride heights are; Front-Right: 94.5 mm; Front-Left: 92.0 and Rear-Right: 82.5 mm; Rear-Left: 93.0 mm (differences due to corner-weighting of the car)
Above dimensions are measured from top of the 19" GS-rim to the bottom of the fender. (Note pics. shows inches and in an agle thus not quite the shotest distance.
