Hi All,
Anyone dong a ride height greater than 4 1/2"? Is this even possible? If so, what is your ride height? These bones might find it easier to get in and out of a higher riding car.
Thanks

Not an 818 builder. But similar setup in other builds that I'm familiar with. How much higher do you think would make enough of a difference? Aside from looking a little wonky, not sure the suspension design is intended to be jacked up too much. Would sure need to have the alignment completed at whatever height you use. Also, I suspect it would be easy to be near the top of the suspension travel if too high. Just not sure it's a great idea to be honest.

I'm at about 5" and everything seems to work well. Not sure how much difference half an inch makes for getting in and out though. There isn't much room to go higher then that on my car. In my opinion the S isn't too bad to get into...a bit tougher to get out of, but once you have done it a few times it's not bad.
Thanks for the replies. Looks like it will be close to 4 1/2" then

My 818C is set to 4 3/4". Doesn't make it any easier to get in or out tho.
I'm at a 5" ride height with nobody in the car.
