Default How much room above the front tire is needed
I just put on some Strange DA front shocks I want to know How low can I drop the car safely. I plan on wheels up launches.
Thanks

i TOLD YA YESTERDAY JUST SET IT UP TO BE AROUND THE SAME RIDE HEIGHT AS THE REARS BUT YOU WONT REALLY KNOW TILL UR AT THE TRACK. IF YOU HAVE SOFTER SPRINGS AND WHEELS UP WONT BE TO SATISFACTORY ON THE REBOUND. IM SURE IF YOU ASK LARRY HE CAN GIVE YOU ATLEAST A GOOD STARTING POINT.
