Ride Height

Recommended Posts

jerseypug

i am going to do a multi surface rally that will be quite rough, i want the car as heigh as possible but am worried about going too heigh and straining the drive shafts. anyone know what a safe height would be? i am leaving the rear at standard height and have gaz coilovers at the front with 14 inch springs.

standard ride height is perfectly reasonable. unless your doing the acopolis rally that is?

just pushed the sump guard through the sump after hitting a bump in a quarry. i would like to raise it about 50mm above standard but would like to know if anyone has had any problems with driveshaft angles after going to that sort of height.

We just finished the midsummer endurance rally this weekend, It was VERY bumpy but standard ride height was still fine.

Alot of cars were ripping off bumpers including our own rear.

Have you thought about changing the springs? what have you got on already ?

 

I find std height too low for most whites

 

hence i use this height , have had no problems with this set up

Your flying through the air in the first pic, but without helmets? Bit surprising really. Was the go kart track fun?

The whole event was no helmets as parts of it are on the road. (top ones not us but was on same rally)

 

The kart track was awesome but alot of people didn't like it saying it was to short.
