HaydnH Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi All, Could anyone do me a quick favour? In relation to this post by Daz: viewtopic.php?f=176&t=55095&p=948524#p948524 Please could someone with OEM suspension and a tape measure take the same measurement to figure out the drop? (i.e: your measurement - Daz's measurement). Thanks in advance, Haydn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick43 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi If it is this measurement you want... I just know that from the ground to the top of the wheel arch for road driving 605mm is good. On standard suspension, wheels and tyres, my measurement is; Front - 663mm. Rear 698mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mick (and the Papa for PMing me), I'll get you guys a beer at the next Wales meet. Darren, is your car really dropped by about 60mm?!?

Darren-B Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I don`t know how much it`s dropped, I changed it so many times I don`t know whats stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 I don`t know how much it`s dropped, I changed it so many times I don`t know whats stock I think your comment "from the top of the wheel arch" has confused everyone. 605mm from the very bottom of the wheel arch is about 35mm above the top of the tyre on standard sizes if my brain calcs are correct. I doubt that's a 60mm drop (i.e: 95mm from tyre to wheel arch as standard). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I measured this out of interest, with 275/35 and 245/35/19 and got near enough 670mm front and rear, on standard suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 & I thought that when I lifted it up in April it was near stock height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
