Lowered Car Ride Height - Measurements Needed

Post by BigDawgV8 »

Hi All,

Starting to set up the suspension on the latest project but need to know the height setting.
I'm trying to get this as low as I sensibly can so...........

Can those of you with lowered cars do me a favour and measure from the ground to the bottom of your front chassis legs by the eye-bolt mount if possible. This will give me a good ballpark place to start from.

I hope that makes sense

Thanks all.

i can't tell you that measurement off hand, but i can tell you that the distance from road to sump is a fraction over a housebrick thickness :o my small wheels could have a bearing on that though!
