Default ride height

On a C3 should the lower rocker area be parallel with the ground or should the front be down some. :confused:

On a stock car im not sure how its suppose to be. On a modified car theres really no set rule. I think level is always best regardless of the overall height. I lowered the rear of my 73 to make it level front to rear.

I don't have a clue but wouldn't you want the nose slightly lower to get the air moving over the top and less under the car. Our cars have a real problem with lifting from too much air underneath. With the slight rack down in the front it would promote more air over the top and hopefully more down force.
