Agreed, the front is too high for my taste, but its not my car and no doubt that huge oil pan is driving that height. I'm guessing 3", no more than 4" of clearance with that deep sump under there and the t-bars turned up.

In this were my car, I'd focus on better oil control and engine safety, then drop the nose. It would sure suck to trash a $20,000 engine because of oil pan damage.

Especially seeing as the pan and the Milodon oiling system was installed to SAVE the motor in the 1st place lol.

I am having an inch to 1.5" taken off the oil pan next week, then maybe look at getting some stiffer torsion bars.

I will investigate a road race pan before next week tho....I'll be calling Milodon!

KYB Gas Adjust shocks will give you about 1/2".

I would certainly recommend the Milodon road race unit. They are a very high quality pan.
