I would like to improve the handling of my Summit/ RVR a little bit, Does anyone know what the ride height of the 1997 HSGR was? I tried searching for it online, but I haven't found any answers.

 

Also what suspension mods would you recommend for better cornering? I don't mind if it's a little harsh.

I'm running evo 8 coilovers on the front. R31 skyline rear struts, custom made rear springs & custom made adjustable 22mm rear sway bar. Car handles beautifully now, almost on par with my evo 6 but slightly more comfortable.

Sounds good. How much lower is it? Any problems with rubbing/ clearance?

I'd like to see pics of the sway bar setup.

Rear sits roughly 1" above the top of the wheel. Zero issues with rubbing running 235/40/17 Before I was just using off the shelve king springs and when you went wot it would squat by several inches. The old springs were coil binding, the car is just to heavy for them. Wish I could remember the part number for them so I could advise others to stay clear of them. Probably kffs-25 or kfrs-27 something like that.
