Question on coilovers and lowering
My tuning shop has notified me that the KW Varient-2 coilovers I ordered have cleared customs and should be available for installation this week.
Given that oil level is measured by the computer displaying a warning message that the car has to be parked on level ground, does it also follow (I assume so) that the amount of lowering for the front should match that of the back, in order to maintain the chassis level when parked on level ground?
Any recommendations on how much to lower the car by? Keep in mind that I have to make sure the car still clears minor obstructions in multi-level urban parking garages, speed bumps, slope-ups between the street and my driveway, etc. I want better handling but I don't want to turn the daily drive into the city into an obstacle course.
