Suspension Height - Figures Needed

spoons · 14th June 2011, 08:42

Morning all,

We've got a few cars running different suspension setups on here and I wanted to ask if you would measure your cars ride height and maybe a picture of your setup.

The measurement should be taken in mm, front and rear from the centre of the wheel to the wheel arch, making sure you are on flat ground and your measurement is vertical.

So...

Car Type & Engine = ??

Front Nearside = ?? mm
Front Offside = ?? mm
Rear Nearside = ?? mm
Rear Offside = ?? mm

Suspension = ?? (can you also include roughly how long the suspension has been on the car and how many miles its done)

Here's mine:-

Vectra VXR 2.8 Turbo

Front Nearside = 325 mm
Front Offside = 325 mm
Rear Nearside = 325 mm
Rear Offside = 325 mm

Suspension = KW Variant 2 INOX Coilovers (8 months old and 5,000 miles covered)

Here's mine:-

Vectra GSI 3.2
Front Nearside = 370 mm
Front Offside = 365 mm
Rear Nearside = 350 mm
Rear Offside = 345 mm

Suspension = Eibach / Bilstein B6

I am not sure why mine is lower at the driver side! i wasn't in it!

Could be fuel weight or the car wasnt on a dead even surface.

Just turn the car around (so its opposite direct but in the same place), then do the measurements again and see what they say

measured of the ground as it is easier than guessing the centre of the wheel

667 rear both sides
677front both sides
vxr spec springs from lesjofors and monroe shocks
about 6 months on the car i think and done about 4k
