How do you adjust the ride height with the coilover shocks? I know that Sport mode preloads the shocks, but I didn't know that it increases their length. | ||

I just made a quick measurement in the garage. It's 4.5 inches measured from the bottom of the door rocker panel. 5 inches from the the front bumper just in front of the wheelwell. The front bumper bottom angle up a bit toward the front. | ||

According to Road & Track magazine, it's 4.2 inches. My 360 brochure didn't mention the ground clearance figure. There's adequate clearance for most of my situations. On driveway curbs I approach at an angle and at extremely low speed. | ||

...at the moment, the parking is ready to accept cars with at least 10cm (3.9") ground clearance. Is that enough? | ||

Gentlemans, I really appreciate your bright  comments but I really need to know the ride height of the car which I don't have at this time (delivery scheduled for may/june 2002). I have a last chance to have the ramps in the underground parking modified to accept the car . I need figures! | ||

I don't know if the spider is any different than the coupe, but my 360 has ample ground clearance over reasonable obstacles. It scrapes every now and then, but nothing major. By the way, the height of the 360's is adjustable via its coilover shocks... Ernesto | ||

in homage to Spinal Tap: "You ask yourself 'How much less ground clearance could this car have?' and the answer is 'None.'". one could presume it has _some_ clearance Solly, otherwise that'd be a REAL rough ride ;-) doody. | ||

It doesn't have any. I bottom out routinely on even small driveway curbs. The worst are driveway entrances with a dip in them. Be very careful. | ||

Does someone know the real 360's ground clearance? I'm buying a new flat with a underground parking and I would like to know if I can use it for the car. Thank you for your help. |
