Dave,
Regardless of batteries etc., the car should be a level height all round, if not there is an issue..!! The springs are not that soft to suddenly slop over when you put your battery in, a driver will naturally have an effect, but not massive unless they are 25 stone, or something like that..!!
Cheers

Correct

And normal practice is to add 75kg weight to passenger side to compensate for avg driver weight

No I believe recommended ride height.
My 02 car presently on stock suspension rides 20mm higher than those stated.
However if you have a 03 onwards 4200 if will be slighter lower than mine, and if a GS, it might ride the same as those stated being set lower still from the factory.

I notice you state yours is an 02-03, does it have the rear wing aerial (02) or no aerial (03), as from the factory they both had different springs with skyhook and different ride heights.

Anyway....looking at mine which is riding too high, dropping 20mm to the FD measurements sounds about right without being silly.
What is the height of yours at the moment?

I took measurements and according to your above I am already riding GS ride height..
I measured:
FL: 10,8cm
RL: 11,8cm
FR: 10,5cm
RR: 11,5cm
I am around 90 kilos (especially after XMAS eating....) so I'm sure left side will come to the same level with right with me in...

Well you have the front to rear rake, and lowered from stock but not silly to around GS height.
If you still think it is too low, you can raise her, but at least now you know it has not been 'slammed'!

Ahh but the car will look very high on the drivers side without you in it....90 kilos mate thats heavy!

True I'm tall and heavy for cart racing....

+100 thank you helped on this..
Honestly I would prefer to leave her as it is and only play with bound rebound adjust but my issue is the body kit which has brought her too low to pass the company's parking place....

 

[Mr.Cambio]

Honestly, why are you looking at FD springs with KW on? Is it too stiff? Or do you still have body roll while cornering?

He isn't, just using the FD data for recommended ride height to use with his KW's.

[hodroyd]

I think if we started doing that, we might have to have a N.Ireland, Yorkshire, Wales, Scotland sections and that could get reall messy..!!
