C3 Big Block ride height
« on: July 05, 2006, 11:10:46 PM »
I need to know front end ride height to get my steering sorted measured between bump rubber and chassis I am working with a chassis only so it is difficult for me to estimate so if your BB C3 is sitting low but not on the deck I need that spec

cheers

Mine sits relatively low, but I'm just not sure where you mean to get the measurement?

Hello TyreFryer,

That information can be found in the installation manual... it gives you all the figures and ride heights with factory specs.

I have a 69 manual for my car, and i know other members also have manuals with regards to their model cars.  

What model C3 do you have..?.. We might be able to help you out there.

I am measuring from the top of the bump rubber on the lower control arm to the underside of the chassis were it contacts..... given that your bump rubber is in reasonable cond I figure it to be around 2 and 1/2 inches.
