I have been adjusting my Hi-Los after much wheel arch scraping and speed bump avoiding. After a bit of fettling and a few drives i have noticed that my front end is about 2cm lower than the back end (measuring from end of sills to ground). I remember reading that the back end should be slightly higher than the front, but unsure if this is correct, or how much higher it should be?

 

hope this makes sense?

 

 

cheers

When I got my suspension set up professionally by Slark Race Engineering, I was told that having the rear 2cm higher than the front is optimal for handling. So I'd say you've got it set pretty good how it is

have you got your front tracking reset since you have been fiddling with ride height ?

someone posted this a while ago and i noted it down:
 
Typically a 12" wheeled Mini is 9.75"/248mm from sill to floor and rear is 11.00"/279mm - measured at the sill ends immediately before the arch line/edge curves up. 10" wheeled Minis tend to be around 0.50"/13mm less at each end except for real early ones which are another 0.50"/13mm lower at the rear.
