I’m looking to make my Exige more aggressive (can’t believe I’m saying that) by dropping the ride height a little and fitting some spacers. I’m not looking to stance it or to go too extreme.
Does anyone know how much you can space the wheels by without bringing them into contact with the bodywork/liners under compression/lock?
If you drop the ride height you will already have contact with the liners at the front, even without spacers. Surprised if you don’t have this already at standard ride height. I’ve currently got aluminium patches in the front liners to repair the holes and to prevent further damage to the back of the headlight housing.
General advice would be not to add spacers.
I’m running standard height at the moment.
I have heard about the arch wearing through although I thought I’d read the liner design had changed to provide more clearance. If this is the case, being a 2010 car I might have some flex…
You will now wear the headlights!!!
Okay, I’m going to thread drift my own thread.
What ride height can I run without wearing through the liners?
On the road, reasonably low, ~110 at the front depending on spring rate maybe even as low as 105, but in reality depending on your local area anything under 110 front 120 rear you will start having speed bump issues.
My car just wore out the arch liners it never bothered me, it was even rubbing well on the bottom of the clam under the headlights, but again no real damage so I just left it to wear, didn’t catch as much after that and only ever on track.
I run about 115 125 and my liners are shot.
Featherweights can get away with lower.
