[Tigers] Ride Height?

[daniel doornbos]

Any comments from those who have lowered cars on what they set up for ride height?  How low before interference with rear end hitting the frame?  Any measurements from say the bottom of the sills or frame behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels?  How thick of spacers or changes to leaf spring set up?


I've got the frame straight and the Tom hall leaf spring reinforcements installed.   The Mustang II Mike H Front end track width and dimensions on a ford 8.8 rear end to give me the right rear track width.  With that I've sorted out wheels (16x7 with +30mm offset to run 205/45/16) at all 4 corners.  The set up is spec'ed to keep the wheels Tucked inside stock non flared fender lips.


The car is off to body shop in the next month and all four fenders replaced to go to standard non flared fenders.  I can have the body shop make tweaks as appropriate for wheel opening height and width.  I'd like to set a low and level stance, but it seems like the rear end will have limits on how low I can set it up.  With the mustang II FE and adjustability I can set a wide range of ride height.


Current fenders on the car have about 1.5" higher opening than stock.  Link to car in current set up with rear wheel set in place and stock rear end interference with placement and other photos are the donor alpine body.  https://photos.app.goo.gl/vTsxSW0P0UFiBHNW2
