Shortened so it is level with the bottom of the bell housing on a type 9
I think 100mm is about right but some go much lower. suspension travel is of course important and if in doubt a sump guard is worthwhile but can act
as a skid i.e. no steering and no front brakes.

As snapper says for target clearance and sump modding.
Ref sump guard, i thought about this but was concerned that a guard could reduce clearance and if contacted hard enough on the road could deform and
hit sump.
I angled the front section of sump upwards and made the base out of 3mm steel. Other than that ive played about with suspension heights and settings
and not had any issues since.
