9. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE MUST BE AT LEAST 80MM (3.15 INCHES) OF STRUT BODY IN THE STRUT KNUCKLE BRACKET.
10. The amount of front ride height adjustability is significant. The maximum height will be approximately a 13mm (1/2” drop) to
3.5 inches. Note the drop can exceed what the vehicle ground clearance may tolerate. So please be aware of this.
11. An example of adjusting the fronts, we will have a goal of 645mm front height with 20 inch wheels which will be 632mm with
19 inch wheels and 609 with 18 inch wheels. The OE height of a Camaro with 20 -inch wheels is in the 680 to 700mm range.
Dropping the Camaro 645mm with 20-inch wheels is a fairly aggressive drop, a maximum drop might be 635mm. At 645mm
the top of the fender is slightly above the tread.
12. To adjust the height of the strut for 645mm, thread the strut housing into the strut knuckle bracket, until the clearance of the
lower clevis bracket lock nut to the bottom of the spring seat lock nut is 12mm. Be exact with this measurement and match it
side to side precisely! Now a decision needs to be made. If you are sure the service you measured the ride height was flat and
level, and if you found the left front 5mm lower than the right front, you could raise the left front preliminary adjustment to
17mm. For the front, there is an approximate 1 to 1 relationship to strut height vs. ride height
13. Make your preliminary height adjustment, and lightly lock the lower lock nut.
14. Identify the left and right side front strut assemblies. The brake hose bracket goes forward and the ABS bracket goes to the
rear.
