Dry Sump, Chassis Related Q's
Dry Sump, Chassis Related Q's looking at the layout of a 4th gen, do you think it would be worth while to go to dry sump oiling and lower the engine in the cradle?
the consideration is to lower the CG of the car for handling purposes.
just something i am curious about and i am having trouble finding information to determine how much lower the engine can go, how low the trans can go to follow it down, and what the resulting effect on driveshaft/pinion angle would be.
looking at my car it looks like it could come down 3/4-1" without much issue, may have trans angle and oiling problems beyond that. does this sound right?

Sounds like a ton of work for 3/4". Go dry sump, because it's much much better & safer.
If you're starting from scratch with front & mid plate, then maybe. Good luck.
