Could I squeeze anything else out of this ride height?
Looking for some advice on my ride height. Obviously I'd like it to be as low as possible without a.) rubbing, fender clearance issues and b.) looking like a ridiculous slammed low-rider. Here's some pics. As it is right now, my driver's side sits 1/2" lower than my passenger (as measures from the ground to the top of the wheel arches). I'm guessing the how's and why's of that should addressed before attempting any further lowering. So, can I take this any lower? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1263245085.jpg

While general ride height makes a difference, more important is proper corner balance. If your corner balances are right, then your ride height can be skewed. My car has a 1/4 to 1/2" difference side to side but is correctly corner balanced. It is just how it is.

that could be slammed 2"

I think it looks great right where it is!
|
I guess it depends on where you live as my 72 was about 2 inches lower then your car, but that was when I lived in Marin. Now that I live in chicago, it has come up 2 inches.
|
I love the way it looks as you have it, nice ride!

"that could be slammed 2"
Exactly. And it would look like a slammed 911. |
Throw some 20's on that be-atch!

if he goes down 2" he's gonna rip he tire and fender apart ........
you say your off a half ... what are your heights at the top of fender , that will tel more than we can guess .......just abit more info please ........:cool: also your tire sizes would help |
You'll be able to lower it at least an inch or so without any interference.

This is about as low as I would go for the street:

Your goal is better handiling right? There is a lot of factors involved in lowering it like bump steer and corner balancing. Check with Chuck at Elephant Racing on just what is required to properly lower a 911 for improved handiling. Lowering it for looks sometimes makes for poor handiling.
