Mixing S ride height with R ride height

[Frank818]

Would it do something bad to the car if I use S ride height suspension's holes in front but I would use the R ride height suspension's holes in the back?

I'm trying to clear my shafts from the CV (too much angle) and for that I need to drop the car, I'd try with 1in to make it around 4" ground clearance. I thought I could use the R's holes to raise the entire suspension components, helping the axles (may not fit my issue though but I have to try). I just don't know if it's bad for driving with S in front and R in rear, assuming front-rear 4in ground clearance.

Just to clarify, you're adjusting the suspension do that your z-height is the same front and rear, correct?

[Frank818]

Oh yeah, I want my ground clearance to be the same front-rear.

I could be wrong on this, but it sounds like digging a hole and filling it back in.

Regardless of where your suspension attaches to the car, with any given hub height and any given transmission output height, you'll have the same axle angle.

You'll have to either decrease the transmission-to-frame height or increase the hub-to-ground height. That means either taller tires and lower suspension (if you've got tire room), or modifying the engine and/or transmission mounting.

In short, hub height is determined solely by tire/wheel size and if the frame height is fixed, then so is the transmission output shaft height (unless modified). Changing the suspension points and then adjusting the coilovers puts you back at square one.

Hummer H1 hub swap?

Yeah you're right, I was trying to picture the situation, whatever I do on the suspension components it won't affect the hub-to-gearbox result if ride height is constant.

Then it all comes up to alignment of rear wheels before I can decide on the axles.
