Title: rear ride height.

could someone with a working air-suspension height leveller measure the distance from the ground to the boot floor for me please ?

Estate car.

Rear "bump" issues ?  ;)

Why from the boot floor? Will a saloon wheel arch do?

Remember the car needs to be running for 3mins to get accurate measurements. I'd measure 3 or 4 times at 2m intervals and take the mean...

I was just going to ask the same question for my Elite Saloon. Noticed it looked a bit high last night. When I am parked on level ground I will measure it and post up the figures.

I was plannign to measure both sides from the ground to the top of the wheelarch, and also from the top of the tyre to the top of the wheelarch.

Mine seems to sit a touch lopsided as well, is there any height adjustment ?

thanks guys - awaiting with interest

I'm retro-fitting self-levelling to an estate and want to know what it should be so I can confirm it's right.

measurement to wheelarch would also suffice.

I'll try to remember to measure in a few hours, planning on using the bike carrier to revisit the local trails.

FL Elite, supposedly on a MV6 chassis (Vx Cock up during manufacture) now running standard shocks on the rear.

Front = 655mm

Rear= 675mm

Measured from floor, through centre of the wheel to wheel arch.

Mine is the same as Duggs but my car came with CD alloys, not sure if it'll make any difference with Elite alloys, shouldn't I guess?

Iirc you have spring assisters Jimbo? Do they account for the extra hight?
