Is the wheel base good on both sides? Mick, I don't understand your question. Please explain further.

5 1/2" It may be a little high. My bell housing hangs almost an inch lower than the frame and I'm installing skid plates on the frame to prevent an impact on it. We have many speed bumps here in the city of Chicago. After I drive the car awhile, I may feel more comfortable lowering it if I've not made major contact. I've got needle thrust washers with custom machined thrust bushings on the coil-overs and that makes adjusting shocks/ride height a breeze.
