Stock ride height(without sports suspension with DRC) for co

Post by nwk00 » Wed Feb 18, 2015 5:33 pm

Hi,

can some kind soul measure the ride height of their car, the version without the sports suspension and DRC that is? Mine comes with sports suspension with DRC. I suspect it is lower than the version without. Below are my latest measurements with the tire pressure 38PSI front and 35PSI rear. Measurements are taken from ground level to the top of the wheel arch, in centimetres.

FL 68.9
FR 67.5
RL 67.9
RR 68.4

The driver side(FR) is consistently the lowest(with no one in the car), maybe it has settled in more than the other corners.

thanks

carsarecool, ha no, I dare say I am probably the lightest driver on the forum. 60kg. :assflash:

Covkiller, is your car stock or with KV coilovers? If it is stock does it come with sports suspension and DRC, or just the suspension without DRC?


thanks

KW V3's see my signature
I changed it as my SS DRC suspension was rusty as the Titanic
