Hi all,

what kind of ground clearance are people running for their lowest chassis point?

We've run as low as 1.0 in the past, or higher if we run soft rates on a bumpy lot.

we are at 1.75 inches at neautral suspension. in theory under full braking our nose is about 3/4 inch off the ground--on perfectly level smooth ground that is. We've lost radiators on our old car from pot holes. we've learned to mount the important stuff a little higher.

A little over an inch at the lowest point (although that drops to about a quarter inch when Josh drives)
