Calling all suspension experts to reverse engineer a Dark Horse suspension setup

My 24 Dark Horse HP car has stock rims with Michelin P4's and my front spoiler is exactly 4 inches to ground.

And what springs are you running? Or are you stock handling pack height? Cause if that was the case that would mean the Steeda sport progressive lower my car less than 0.25” beyond the handling pack springs.

I'm stock. Yes that seems true.

I remember you are boosted too. That's craaaaaaaaazy... That means if I were to put the BMR Minimum Drop springs on there the front end would sit higher than the back end.

So by your measurements going back to fully stock HP springs and 20" I would only get about 4.5" to 4.75" from ground which is better but not life altering LOL

Ok Paul, you sent me into full on research mode LOL.

I had to do some digging but I found some pics of my car the week I got it and before any mods were done. Bone stock handling pack.

I suspect that you have some stock HP spring sag due to the added weight of the supercharger? That may also be what is happening with my car. I wonder if the Sport Progressives were intended for use with Magneride + Forced Induction cars? I'll have to look into that.

Here is a pic of my car at a car show last year with the Supercharger, Sport Progressives, 19" DHP1 wheels and 305 & 315 / 30R19 tires. The Dark Horse beside me is a bone stock Handling Pack car. It may be hard to see from the angle but I'm pretty sure he has about 0.5" of a gap in that front wheel well and his chin splitter sits maybe 0.25" to 0.5" highter? When I see him next month I'll have to bring my tape measure and see what is what on his car vs. mine.

Grrrrr, if only we could swap in spring and wheel combinations, cheaply, and see what we like? Women get to do that with purses and shoes and stuff. Life isn't fair. First world problems fo sho'
