Ride Height

**Ride Height Overview:**

Adjusting the ride height of your IMCA SportMod plays a crucial role in optimizing the car’s performance by balancing speed, handling, and aerodynamics. Lowering the ride height too much can lead to bottoming out on the track, potentially causing loss of control or damage to the chassis. Contrarily, adjusting ride heights at different corners of the car has specific impacts:

– **Higher Right Front (RF) Ride Height:** Leads to a tighter handling chassis, affecting corner entry and stability.

– **Elevated Rear Ride Heights:** This setup increases drag on straightaways but improves rear traction in corners, beneficial for maintaining speed through turns.

– **Higher Left Front (LF) Ride Height:** Results in a tighter handling chassis by shifting weight and altering balance.

– **Increased Left Rear (LR) Ride Height:** This tends to loosen the chassis, influencing corner entry dynamics.

– **Raised Right Rear (RR) Ride Height:** Conversely, tightens the chassis, impacting corner exit performance.

– **Elevating the LR Ride Height:** This adjustment can inadvertently lower the RF, potentially leading to dragging on that corner.
