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.

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 |
