Ride Heights for road use?
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi,
Can the colective intelect tell me what ride heights (say sill to ground) you run, please? I'm looking to get a base setup, get the tracking done, then I should be sorted? Thanks.
Cheers,
Gavin :)

My Mini build diary

theres a lot of debate about this, some say have the top arms level (parallel to the ground), i personally run with the driveshafts parallel to minimise loss. This sometimes leaves scraping the zorst though, not that i ever lost one in the 3 years i was running around like that.

For the rear, i always set it an inch higher. Puts weight on the front slightly, without being excessive.

Just my 2p

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

Bill Solis recons 3/4 inch rake (Difference) from the back to the front. I run with just enough room between the rear wheel and unmodified arch to get your fingers round the back of the tyre. It does rub on corners thoughDoesnt ground on the majority of Speed bumps, just the silly big ride on and over ones, catches cat on the SPi so may not be an issue otherwise

I'll be modding the arches to prevent the rubbing on cornering and possibly fitting a road anti Roll bar kit
