How low is your OSF?

[Nettles]

I’m in the process of modifying the front of my chassis and when it’s complete with the engine back in and everything else bolted back on it should have a ride height at the front of about 4 inches.

So how low is your OSF? What ride heights are everyone else running?

tub it out and have it as low as in your sig picture

[frenchy]

tub it tub it tub it

Mine is about 3" off the ground at it's lowest point.

Surprisingly it very seldom grounds out (the headers always hit first if it does).

I'd reckon that a 4" ride-height would be about perfect

[jamesg]

not sure how high off the ground it is but its been lowered an inch and a half.

Not sure on the groud clearance but it's an Anglia on -3" Capri struts & -2" decambered leafs with -2" blocks!! Very low, even up on ramps its a struggle to get under

how low do you want it to be ? hydro's or airbags let you change to suit your mood

4 inch's is fine mate so long as nothing is past the scrub line, imagine your car sitting on the street with no tyres on it, if any component is touching the floor, (lower than the wheel rim) its to low.

iv seen plenty of mega low pops over the years at the rod shows so i dont think you'll have a problem, i had one running triumph running gear a couple of years back and the bottom of the grill shell (the lowest part of the car) was about 3" from the tarmac

[Copey]

mines not low enough!! need to raise the exhaust into the body a little and then lower it a bit

[vibrating_Cake]

mines -1" all around but still has clearance of about 2" above the height of a kurb, at least!

[RWDmad]

2.5"all round with the shock settings at their hardest hit the exhaust off everything

[Noodles]

Now my lowest point which is the bottom of the exhuast manifold is 60mm

[mossy]

mines too low to get a jack under it!

The Scrub line is as low as you can safely go, which is normally the sidewall height of the tires you are using + 2" so if you have a puncture and lose the tire the bottom of the lowest part of the car will not drag on the floor, so if your tire wall on the rear is 2.5" +2" for clearance, this will give 4.5", measure from the lowert point under the car, you can still run a rake as your front tires are smaller you just need to be thinking about the what will touch if you have a blowout, you also have to take into account if you do have a puncture, how much room do you need to get a small jack under he car.

escort with sunroof's is extremely low

 

[Stu_B]

Not much clearance on a low kerb

 

[FredTransit]
