RIDE HEIGHTS ?

Post by **philroach** » Mon Nov 02, 2009 9:33 pm

Having had H&R's for a while now , am looking at raising it a little at the rear
based on empty car , 1/2 tank petrol , level ground , and 35 profile tyres....
Also appreciate difference between DRC , PSS9's , H&R's etc but am interested in difference between front and rear , as much as actual heights from road to arch

I am currently(H&R's) : rear 642mm , and front 654mm
Johnny11 (DRC) is : rear 685 , and front 662

what have you lot got ????

also , do you need special tools to adjust H&R's , or just the right size spanners , left all my stuff up at the Grizzmeisters when he fitted them

There was a thread on DRC not that long ago with a whole lot of heights in it - should be easy enough to find.
Right now my 6 is parrked on a steep slope, on mud, it's dark and raining.....

looks like about 10-15mm higher at the back should be there or there-abouts , come on Grizz and Mooch , what are your measurements- car that is , nothing else thanks Mr M !

so your set up is lower at the back then ? did u measure road to rim ? should be the same difference i suppose...

I set mine up to cope with the farm lane and the crap cornish roads!

if PSS9's fitted to C5, with C5 wheels but with 275/30 19 Goodyear F1's, what would be the recommended ride height ? and measured from where to where ?? and with assumed # of passengers ?? thanks...

How fat are your passangers?

Post by **buzzard666uk** » Fri Nov 06, 2009 6:32 pm

Cornish, not a case of being fat, but a question from someone that is new to this stuff..... I saw it as a reasonable question.... ie if you lower to whatever for solo drive, does one then have to adjust if 4 people in the car !!!

It was a joke!

Personally, I have no knowledge of the Ps kits, but would imagine that the ride hight is fairly standard among those who have gone for coil overs- a balance between comfort and handling, so if you take an average of what people here are running I don't think you will be far out.

Unless you track your car and are a profesional driver, i dont think that the passangers (even if feckin GYNORMOUS) will make a huge difference.
