Title: Ride height
Post by: gtpete on December 26, 2018, 11:57:45 PM

Hello. I am just about to start my FED build and would be interested to know what kind of chassis ride height a lot of you guys run ? Thanks in advance Pete.

My chassis guy uses 4". Even though the minimum spec is 3" It makes it a lot harder to load / offload at that height and he says the difference in e.t. is nil. Not to mention high centering it on eneven ground.

Thanks guys for your replies. I guess I'll have more questions as the build progresses. Thanks again.

actaully spec is 3" front to 12" past front axle centerline and 2" minimum rest of car if I am not mistaken. I am at 3.25 front and just under 3 at motorplate. Make sure to allow for tires at race pressure.
