I am setting up an EP 914-6 for SCCA regionals. I have 22mm front torsion bars and 350# springs in the rear. How low can I set the ride height? I have found the bolts that hold in the front sub frame to be the lowest point of the car and I can adjust the bars till it hits the ground. The rear I use the jack points on the back corners of the tub. I can lower these down to 2" off the ground.

I have a set of the 23mm front bars also and can get heavier rear springs if needed. Any suggestions? I am runing cantilevered slicks from Goodyear.

I will be running tracks like Road Atlanta, Barber, Roebling and CMP. How low can I go?

Thanks,
neilca.
