Hi Folks.

Looks to me that most of the SPF 40 are siting too tall from the ground. They look to have a higher ground clearance than the originals even on what they claim to be the lower setting. As they claim that the chassis, engine and transmission are the same as in the originals, How can this be?

As food for thought, I am attaching 3 pictures of two original cars in which you can see the oil pan and bellhousing flush with the chassis, and two pictures (bottom) (one from the forum) in which you can see the SPF ZF bellhousing protruding 2/3 inches below it.
How can this be possible?
Any light?
