Thanks for the reply ,I have the gaz shocks without the 1" tops, how much aprox would that ad to the hight ? I would like to have at least 8cm to the oil tray & maybe 12-13cm to the botom rail, right now I have 95mm to the BR.
Cheers |
I'm not sure I understand the question, it's not the shocks that add the height, it's winding up the spring platforms.
As a start I would suggest 100mm under the chassis at the front, and maybe 125mm at the rear. A good guide is the front lower wishbones, whcih are usually designed to work best when they are level in the standing position |
Try suspension height of 100mm/4 ins under the front chassis rails and rear at 140mm/5 1/2 ins.
Bellhousing lower flange at 25mm below chassis rail. |
I have jut been out to the workshop to measure mine for you.
Approximately 125mm ground clearance on my build ( More or less at it's final ride height ) Guess any sump alteration you do will be dictated by the bottom of the bell housing on the gearbox ;) Hope that is of some help to you :) |

Thanks for all the help guys, the sump is level with the bottom of the gearbox & I have 95mm from BR to the ground in front but onely 60mm from the bottom of the sump/gearbox to the ground . In the back I have arownd 135-140mm fromBR to the ground. do I need spacers under the motor mounts? I´m sure I have somewhere arownd 25-30mm from BR to the bottom of the sump/gearbox.
Thanks Samy |
Raise the front slightly Samy and remember the bonnet has to go on ;)
