I love this discussion regarding "racing" car ride height (from
another forum) - the first paragraph refers to a racing MGB:
"OK, here's my next piece of advice, if you're running under the car
exhaust instead of a tunnel exhaust, and you're trying to run your
ride height measured at the rocker rail at 2", then you're running
lower than you can get away with, with a under car exhaust about
3-3.5" is about it, that where I ran Bamm Bamm with a uder the car
exhaust.
With Klaus' Huffaker Bugeye with Steve Hussey (150 pound driver)
driving it, the car was ran at 1 7/8" ride height, it had a tunnel
exhaust..."
So, I guess I really need to lower my car's ride height - but at those
heights I am not sure I will be able to get it down the driveway :-)
