Stroke on a coilover

Hello,

I'm in the process of manufacturing an upper mount for my front coilovers.

The overall travel on the coilover is 2.5" from fully compressed to fully extended. Anyboy have an idea where "normal" ride height should be? I have it set to allow 1" extension and 1.5" compression. Sound about right or should I adjust a bit more?

Thanks in advance!

That doesn't sound like enough stroke for the suspension movement- front or back. Are you sure you have the right shocks?

Sheesh! I should have looked on their site from the beginning. They are saying 9.5-10" for ride height.

They are the correct coilovers for a Mustang 2. There are 2 different lengths. The next size up has about 1/2" more stroke. They are more for the factory lower arms. Mine has the mounting in a bit further which changes the ratio a bit.

Thanks.
