I am setting up the front suspension and trying to get my lower wishbones right first. Perceived wisdom suggests that the lowers should be parallel to the ground but if I do that I only have just over 3" of clearance underneath my sump, which will result in a very nervous driving experience anywhere other than the local bowling green!!

Other than a slight lifting of the centre of gravity are there any suspension gurus out there who can say what (if any) are the risks of lowering the outer ends of the wishbones by 25-35mm (approx 5 degrees) or what affect it may have on the car's handling / feel.

Many thanks

Hi Nigel, not a suspension guru but I wouldn't have thought it's going to have a negative effect other than raising your centre of gravity. You need to get the ride height sensible and then focus on the camber and toe front and back as that plus damping rate will have the biggest impact on handling rather than the angle of the wishbones
