ride height?

I was wondering what kind of ride height most of you are running. I my fairlane I have it lowered down around 4" of clearance (110" or so wheelbase) it does scrape a little on some speed bumps and parking lot entrances (jsut the exhaust)

so I was wondering how low some of you were and if you have scraping issues.

1962 fairlane with a 200" six and T5 5spd, shaved trim air ride, t3/t4 turbo and soon to be EFI
-- looking to put a offy tripower intake on soon

5" and 93" wheelbase on mine.

Not driven yet though so no useful feedback.

4" and 96" wheelbase.

I have a nasty curb straight off my driveway that my 2000 Jetta scrapes going down (I take it sideways), but the Bala doesn't scrape at 4"

I'm going for 5" on my McSorley 7+4 chassis. I'm not sure of the wheelbase but it is basically standard RC book length. I can't really go any lower as my sump sits about 1.5" below the chassis underside although I hope to shorten the sump slightly to keep a clear 4" of clearance from the ground.

Cheers,
Craig.
