Thread: Is my '32 supposed to bottom out over every little bump???

Tweet

Although it's not desirable having the rear casing hitting the floor it's not as bad as tyres(tires) hitting fenders and damaging both (This is something i am always struggling with).
I would cut a hole in the floor, cover it with rubber sheet. Sounds drastic, but not as drastic as running the car higher than you like it. Then i would look for convenient places to mount adjustable bump stops to cushion out those heavy hits when you really run out of clearance. Maybe use something like a chrysler pinion snubber type of thing on a crossmember?
I only have around 2-3" maximum clearance. i can live with that.
When you crank up those coilovers you are adding preload which may raise the car but careful you don't cause the car to 'top out' (which is just as bad).
