Have you got the aftermarket camber adjusters Ormi ? I'm pretty sure your geo wouldn't be possible to be recovered at that ride height, without them.

me too but it also depends on the year....mines is a 99 which sits 15mm higher than a 2002 sport......

Really? So, if yours was standard mine would have been lower than yours?
I need to start my own thread with a wish list and must have list etc... I'm all over this forum seeing stuff I want/need and better look at gathering a list...

ormi with lowering springs on and three people in the back still dont think it would be lower than mine....mines got a drop of approx 70mm front and approx 90-100mm at the rear..
if you lower yours 30mm you would need to compress your springs over 70mm to be the same/lower than mine which wont happen..
I had mine at 70mm front and 90 rear, but lifted the rear to around 70mm again as i got fed up with smashing the exhaust on the roads:Chair:
Looking very good mate :thumbup:

ok, just so long as you realise you're compromising the handling and tyre wear. IMHO it'd be worth considering the camber adjusters at some point - they'll pay for themselves in terms of saving the money on tyre replacements :biggrin:
On the ride height, I never measured mine when it was OEM. But it was an early Sport model like yours (99). After fitting the TTE springs it rode 63.5cm at the front, and 66cm at the rear.

Are the measurements from bottom of bumper to the road???
