ride height

[pidge]

hi i have got a vectra facelift cdti sri just had 2 new front springs fitted and i think the ride height is to high .measurement to ground from wheelarch is 66 cm and from top of tyre to wheelarch 7cm ,prob is i have not got any way of comparing to another sri ,can anyone help
thanks

could be wrong but have they fitted the right springs??????????/ many times it appeares they dont know that the SRI has the sports suspension

[soulman]

Also the front will look a little higher than the rear because of the shape of the wheel arches ...the fronts are higher ...
Also maybe they havent bedded in yet (which I doubt is the case)

I would say wrong springs

can you put a picture up ???

What Part numbers were fitted, I'll check if they were correct for your car.

Sounds like you have non SRi springs fitted as said, a picture will be able clear it up.

Defo the wrong springs, being that high even when they would settle, they would still be too high.
