I have the car on the floor and have spent several hours working on ride height. All of my front suspension is built around the 26.5 tire. The shorter tire could require some rework (shock length is a concern). I do not like the look of short tires under a Cobra.

Still end up 4 7/8 to the floor in the front with the the front suspension square and 26.50 tire. I have not modeled the rear suspension yet with respect to roll center movement so I am hoping that all works out well i.e. front and rear RC can be made to move together fairly close at a decent ride height in the rear. For now I have the rear set at 5 1/4.



Here is an advantage to being short - the steering wheel is in the same plane as the shifter.
