Ride hight? (not coilovers)

[Olly20VT]

Iv got seat sport kit on my car but i want it lower now. As iv got good dampers and i dont want to go to low im thinking of getting some springs, could people please post there hights and set up for me, iv taken the mesuermant as shown in pic, mine is 145mm from side skirt to floor.
Also a standard car hight would also be good as i dont think mine is far off that.



Thanks
Olly

Hey Olly,

I dont know if these are the best pictures but i dont have many side on! My suspension is standard at the moment

 

[CupraTgirl]

A couple more that i just remembered i had:-

 

[CupraTgirl]

I know the pictures are small but you can save them and open them on your computer and they should come up bigger? If they dont give me a shout and i can send them via MSN or something?

I know your only trying to help but he wants the actual height from the skirts to the ground, not just pictures

Olly mine is approx 135mm thats with standard wheels and suspension

 

[Forbez]

measurements with standard wheels or with 17's??

You may be right but he just set he wants peeps heights and set ups and no one else had replied so i did what i could and you can get a rough idea just from pictures until someone else had put up other results

 

[Olly20VT]

Thanks to both of you the pics are a ok guide, on 17's would be best but it shouldent mater because the rolling road size is the same.

DOH that means mine is 10mm higher than standard but if you take in to acount tred depth and that its a hard thing to measure then they are about the same and not lower wich is what i am trying to answer, so now if anyone has lowering springs with pics and hights that would be good.

its 135mm not that helpful ormuch of an idea as mine is a 1.4 and my sideskirts arent on yet, but its been lowered on 35mm springs and is on 17's

You running standard dampers?

I'm interested in this as well, been wonderin how low mine is compared to the known height of the H+R kit. Will measure mine tomorrow.

yeh i am, its shat. but im not bothered cause my coilovers are/should be/hopefully are on their way

Oh so you were just doing it until you got a proper kit?

 

[sirjimalot]

well i wasnt at first, but then it felt a bit crap and seemed to get worse, so i decided to get a kit.

and the fact that my car doesnt look lower doesnt really help and i often gt asked 'are you gtting it lowered then' and many like it, so coilovers it is

Yeah i think a full kit is probably the best way to go, after all the original dampers are only made to take the original springs so i suppose thats why it felt dont you think?

 

[sirjimalot]

indeed i do, but its still better than the original ride but i just dont like the way it feels and the way its starting to feel. hence the kit

 

[Russ_20vt]

will measure in a bit.

Yeah thats fair enough
