we're in the process of re-building our mini city-e. unfortunately we've changed the whole suspension, and now having difficulty setting the height correctly. Could anyone please tell me what the height should be from the floor to the top of the sill on 13" wheels?
any help would be much appreciated!

dont know about setting the height correctly, dont think i've ever seen 2 minis the same!!!!

with the fronts you will probably find the arches will rub whatever the height and they'll have to be cut, other than that any height as long as its not on the bump stops is ok!!

as for the rear i usually go for a 3 finger gap (exact measurment that ;D)between the top of the arch and the tyre for a road car!!

not an exact science but good enuf to get yo moving!!

iep - adjustable.
so there isn't an exact height? i've heard that lowering it until it looks okey works as well!
