Default Ground clearance

What is the minimum clearance for the sump on a roadster. I have gone for the engine sump sitting 4cm under the chassis rails after reading a few posts on here. When I looked at the ride height that some people use 10cm front and 15 cm rear this will make it very close to the ground. I plan on having my suspension set fairly hard most of the time so will this cause a problem. I am tryin to ensure that top of the engine will not interfere with the bonnet.

Thanks


David

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
