Does SVA require a minimum ride height / clearance?

Hi from a practical poit of view for road use after sva. 2"/50mm with extreme caution is as low as you would go.

I wouldn't go any lower than 100mm. My car just scrapes speed bumps at this height.
My MotaLeira will have air suspension so that I can run at 75mm and raise to 150mm for speed bumps

100mm or 4" is generally accepted as a minimum height under the sump.
I have a Westfield manual that suggests 125mm / 5" under the front of the chassis, and 150mm / 6" under the rear. If you follow their
instructions this puts about 100mm under the bellhousing, which is the lowest point after shortening the sump. As the Westie is (ahem)
remarkably similar to the Locost then these figures are probably a safe bet...

Hi most track setup westfields with the sump stuck out the bottom can run as low as 3" without any issues just a bit of caution when needed.

I should add that my dimensions were for road use, and avoidance of speed bumps!
