how tall should an LCR be???

[t32er]

just another one of my random Q's
trying to work out if my LCR has been dropped or not
on looking at another lcr i parked next too the other day i noticed my car was a little lower, also whilst being parked in between 2 lowered cupras, i was still a little lower than both,

from the road to the top of the wheel arch front and back how tall should it be,
or even how big is the gap between the top of the wheel and the arch on a bog std LCR
really need to know

i was thinking about lowering in a little frob only 20-30mm but if it has been done then i wont bother...

if its old standard suspension its possible it could of sagged slightly giving the impression its dropped over time, i would say normally it approx 4-5cm gap.

in order to achieve that type of drop you would need a weitec kit or similar

right then just ran out with a ruler, im 7cm from the top of the tire to the bottom of the arch / wing, deffo not dropped by the looks of it, im going to geuss its the deeper bumpers of the LCR that make it look lower from the front...
possably the LCR i was next to was may be not an LCR, it had covers over the seats and no driver to talk to lol

I wouldn't measure from the top of the tyre, you have 6mm difference between new and old...

thats my old lcr dropped on a 40mm kit therefore, approx true drop 20mm ish

this was within a couple of days of doing it so it did drop slightly more

heres the clearance of the splitter on that drop

hope that helps

the front doesnt look that diff on mine but yours is lower at the arse end!
Dyscontinued - a good point you have raised, ic prob got around 4mm of tread at the front

I aas about due!

I struggle to get my feet under the splitter sometimes when washing mine and it's completely standard, will measure it when I get home.

You wanna measure the gap between the floor and the side skirt tez you'll get a better measurement fron the lol as the Tyres could be all sorts of sizes

i cant get mine under the splitter, i had the car dropped on my feet when i was doing the strut brace and my bro in law was doing my de cat lol, he finished and dropped it off the jacks and i was stuck under the splitter lol
