Julian Thompson Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 I have to be really careful not to drive hard (!) over undulating roads so that my sump doesn't hit the floor. This is frustrating - is my suspension too soft? Rideheight too low? What's the best thing to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Ju, I had this problem following the FF at Dartford. Raised the ride by 5mm all round and has been fine since, even 2 up over all but the most severe bump / hump. Oh and from info gleened @ cat mids 6mm difference on the platforms = 10mm ride height change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Thompson Posted August 28, 2002 Author Share Posted August 28, 2002 Thanks Mav - what should the rideheight be, then, Front and Rear, and where do I measure from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph7355 Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Mine's been very low in the past and wasn't a major problem. I think Caterham recommend something like 80mm below the sump in road trim! I'm pretty sure mine's running at nearer 60-70mm. I doubt the suspensions too soft but uprated springs can make a good difference to handling. Measuring points aren't below the sump when flat flooring etc. Search out PC's post for the definitive answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
