i wouldnt be to sure about that at 40mm, i know that 4.5mm is a lot better, as for no weight well the tunnels that you need to make aren't flat so there is added weight (look at the Ferrari F40)
And no cost? so your saying Ferrari or any of the WTAC teams wasted 150 grand doing tunnels for ground clearance?.....
No, ive not said any thing like that, you are saying it, 4.5 mm is for race cars, not street bugs, i am only talking VW and keeping to the regulations i have to run to, tho its full race, my car also runs on the street, again for regulation purposes..
Yodogg, yes, 1.6 inches, this is a very good practical setting and tests on the watch to half a second per mile over a 55mm ride height, and its streetable o.k if set up right with drop spindles, i drive mine on the street, but like any extreme set up, it requires work, jack points etc need to go, and the lower front shock tower ground flat to the tube, as you know, mine runs flipped a arms for under tray and venturi clearance, so the shocks are re located without the stock lower mountings in the way of things, the floor pans are also raised slightly behind the seat area, just enough to keep the techie inspectors happy, but you dont have to go that far, Ive worked hard on raising the trans and engine to gain ground clearance as we bash the kerbs very very hard, the exhaust also is relocated for the same reason.
