AlterKtion - True Pro-Touring Suspension

rjsjea said

I moved my AlterK (coilover version) up into the frame rail two inches...upper control arms mounting points, rack etc. It was a bunch of work and created more work than I thought it would throughout the car.

When it's done though I will have the working ride height I wanted without going to AirRide.

I agree with AutoXcuda's post

Depending on how low you want to go, this is the way to go. Reason being is it keeps the geometry exactly as it was designed. If you buy an Alter-k, bolt it in then slam it to the ground, the static geometry is different than it was intended to be and there is a "chance" you could be approaching some bind issues on upper ball joint at full compression. If you want it low that isn't a problem, I'm sure Bill has a level of adjustability designed in to compensate a range of ride heights. But if you want it REAL low, you need to set the geometry where it should be, and build around it. In this case, channel the geometry into the existing chassis. I've already been through the suspension geometry design on my build and unless you've got countless hours to put into research (which still won't be enough), best to talk with Bill and see what he recommends.
