    Hi,

    Is anyone able to tell me the ride height on an F40 (a standard EU F40, if possible :) from the front of the car and down to the floor - and aswell from the front bumper, just before the frontwheel, just at I've showed on the picture below.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Best regards,
    Kenneth

    Kenneth, this is going to depend on if the car is fitted with a suspension lifting kit or not. Cars with a suspension kit will sit lower to the ground when the system is lowered and the car is at standstill. Does it have the adjustable suspension?

    I am actually not aware of that.
    The reason why I am asking is, that we may need to have one driven up on a stage, about 50 cm high - and I dont know excat which F40.

    So, maybe if someone can tell me the ride height on both? :)

    That is very high - about 20 inches. I know the math geniuses will be able to figure this out but you will need some long ramps - maybe as much as 3.5 meters or longer to get the car up there. The ramp cannot be too short for two reasons - the height of the car as well as when it crests the top onto the stage. Since the car is so low you don't want to scrape the center underneath the car.
