Ride Hight
was wandering how much room is needed between the top of the rear tire and the inside top of the rear fender because I'm ajusting my coil-overs for ride hight so any suggestions would be great. thanks

Well, the standard travel on a hot rod coilover is 3"---hard to say what clearance should be not knowing what your suspensin is.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Drop the suspension down to the snubbers or the end of the shock travel, determine how much tire growth you will have, Street tire not so much, wrinkle wall at 200 MPH different story. Then add a smidgen more for good measure and whaaalaaaa there you have it.

With a 4 Link and coilovers on a light car I think the spacing of the tire in the fender is more of a "look" you want vs mandatory clearances. Like Dave says, the coilovers have about 3" of travel, but in my experience to date you're going to see about half that in any normal situation.Roger
