I just set mine to the ride height I like which is about how it normally sits. Maybe the front is a tad lower. I just dont think some cars look good sitting to low. Like my 63 as I like the look from the 60's and 70's and I dont think it would look good sitting real low or slammed down. Ron

This is my brothers Cuda. I like the car of course but I dont care for the look with it sitting this low. I think it would better sitting like a SS/AH car with the Hemi scoop. But thats just my taste. Ron

My dart feels good at this height, It has a dragster chassis pan on it. About 4 inches from the ground. My new car, I will have home by the end of January, and it sets a lot lower, but it was a deal I couldn't turn down for the price.

All you real low a-bodies-

I have crappy hooker comps on my car for now, which limits me bigtime on ride height. Are y'all just running TTIs or am I seeing a lot of cars with custom engine setback, trans/driveshaft tunnels, floors relieved for exhaust, tubs and coilovers and short rears, etc. etc.?

I love the modern tucked in back tire low and mean stance (maybe not as radical as some all out racers) but it seems the stock demon would put up a fight. I am not afraid to cut a car up, but not this one!

Thanks

I have custom headers but stock floors and k member and front suspension. My headers are 2in and the lowest part is my oil pan. Well really I built a bar off my k frame to save that and the is the lowest part. If you have a setup that takes tti's I would just use them. I see no need to cut up your car to get it that low.
