I always set them low... my car use to be 3.5" to the lowest part... NHRA says 3" minimum from the front to 18" behind the front spindle.. then 2" back... my car was a PITA to load on the trailer when it was that low so I raised it to 4"

looked for some pic's (no luck) from over the years as things changed and how it progressively got closer to the ground, started out with the old stink bug stance but more level and lower now,, and looks much better that way.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

The more power you have the lower you can go, given big tires and good suspension. Shocking the tires with a transbrake helps get a low fast car up on the tires if the weight distribution is nose heavy. I have 53 percent on the front now and with a bit more rpm on launch, works great.

Well we have one of both...Low and not so low. Both have been near 170 and handle just fine. ALthough we will be addressing the ride height on the small tire car before it comes back out next year.
