Hi there,

I would like to play around with my ride height (nitrons).

What I need to know is where to you measure from and what sort of difference in height front and back (rake) people are running?

Want to play but need some guide lines .

Duncan

P.S
Just noticed the Northants meet but have only just got in .

I measure from the chassis to floor. Rear 10 - 15mm higher than front. Front ride height 110 - 130mm depending on speed bumps in your area!

If you change the ride height don't forget to adjust the camber and toe as well as these will change as well.

Although easier, I found the wheelarchs varied slightly side to side on mine and it was more accurate measuring from the chassis.
