Question New pan required.....??

Some references to ride height have mentioned 5 or so inches. My front frame ground clearance is 7 1/2", the back about an inch higher.... however, my oil pan drops well below the frame and clears the ground by about 5". Perhaps a shallower oil pan is in the offing now, if 7 1/2" seems to be a bit high for the ride height.

My WCC is heavier than most other cobra builds, don't konw if that would up the need for height in itself or just require stiffer springing.

I never got straight what the corner adjustment spring compression changes and subsequent preload does to handling, since it might wind up being different at each corner.

Roger Krause is indeed less than 100 miles from my home, (thank you!) I'll be giving them a call today to see if they would consider give my car a look see.

Thanks again - where is it I can make a donation to keep this wonderful forum up and running??

Regards,

Dirk
