Ride Height (Automotive)

A measurement between the ground and some fixed reference point on a car's body (the reference point varies according to the whims of the particular automaker). This dimension can be used to measure the amount of suspension deflection or the height of the body from the ground.

Ride Height (Car Racing)

The distance from the surface of the track to the bottom of the cars chassis. (Sometimes referred to as "frame clearance")

Ride Height (Car Suspension)

This is the height above the road that the car sits.

Ride Height (Indycar Racing)

The distance from the bottom of the chassis to the ground when a car is at speed. Indy Racing League rules stipulate that the ride height of the sides of a car should be 2 inches off the ground for all tracks.

Ride Height (Remote Control Cars)

The space between the lowest part of the chassis and the ground, measured with all of the car's electronics installed; racers measure the front and the rear ride heights separately. Adjustable on the RS4 kits by the shock spacers provided with the kit. There should be enough ride height so that the suspension can be engaged enough to soak up whatever bumps and dips occur on the track, but the chassis should be low enough to the ground so there isn't too much chassis roll (related to shock settings).

Ride Height (Slot Car Drag Racing)

Dimension between body and/or chassis and components and the track surface
