For those who are trying to decide what ride height they want for their car.
Ford installed the spacers ... raised the car, diminished cornering grip … to prevent the chassis from bottoming out. Which occurred on high speed highway bumps or dips, on steep driveways, and even on parking lot speed bumps.
Bottoming-out is prevented in race cars and properly developed sports cars by increasing spring rates; not by raising the car's center of gravity and roll center.
6018 is set to ride at the original (European) ride height. It is equipped with springs that are equivalent to the springs of a GT5 or GT5-S. It rides great … and corners amazingly. The ride is not too stiff, it is amazingly compliant considering the spring rates. This ride height is highly recommended if you purchased your Pantera with expectations for high performance handling. If you purchased your Pantera to be a show car … well it looks better at the European ride height too. At the European ride height the tires will be centered within the fender opening, as long as the difference in tire diameter front to back is about 2 inches.
This is what centered looks like ↓
