Should a Cerbera squat a little bit or should the sills be parallel to the ground?

well according to my history file the suspension and geo was set up on my car by topcats racing and the back end was set lover than the front.

but i think under full throttle the car would squat even more and the thing would look a bit silly so i would prefer mine to be level

Rear should be higher by about 10mm I used the front and rar of the outriggers to set it up.

What Ridds said. Measuring from the outriggers to the ground, the front should be (minimum) 140mm, and the rear 10mm higher. The car will 'squat' down under acceleration.

The early cars tended to sit a bit higher at the front and lower at the back, later cars I have seen look to have similar clearance at the front and the back. The manual says around 130 MM clearance with no passengers but mine has more clearance at the front rather than the back 1997 4.2

So, Austec adjusted the springs before my trip to holland only to find after 300 miles of heavy footed driving and a pit of kit in the boot that she is squatting again (looking at the sills). The upside of the kit is that I can adjust the springs before my trip back the only thing I am missing is where to measure the road clearance: Using the outriggers will not give me true road clearance as parts of the body are lower than the outriggers. Where do I measure and whats the commonly accepted best road clearance (I know what the handbook says, but have no idea where that is measured)

I though it was from the lip (centre) of the arch to the top of the tyre. probably wrong though
