Mon, 01 December 2003 23:48 Raising the suspension height by a couple of inches above factory can do aweful things to your suspension (much worse than lowering it would). I guess your dad isn't about to go racing in his corolla but RAISING it will give you a healthy dose of positive camber, which will increase braking distance and make it very aweful on wet roads. Probably not too much a concern for your dad but it could introduce jacking during hard cornering which is a really ugly thing where the car tries to pull the outside wheel under itself. Jacking is usually associated with VW beetles and can be dangerous. Have you thought about fitting taller seats? or maybe make something like a childs booster for the original seat? How about wider/taller profile tyres, only problem with this is it will throw the speedo out. [Updated on: Tue, 02 December 2003 01:52] [Report message to a moderator]
