Standard rear ride height
« on: 03 April 2014, 10:20:11 »
    What is the rear ride height?   Many are talking about it, but try as I may, I cannot find it written down anywhere.   Could somebody point me in the right direction please.   Tha :y nks

No it's only a CD spec so just standard setup.

The Estate seems to be 700mm & 710mm...

Possibly incorrect springs . .  as said, in above post,  should be circa 675mm    + or  - 5mm  IMO  :-\

Should I be changing them? Will it cause issues?

Handling will suffer quite badly I would think :-\

 Have a good look around the springs themselves , there may be a 2 letter code painted on them  ( for example LC  or LA  or similar)

Not sure what the code for std springs is or if std actually have a code .Also what year is the car ?

Mr. Gixer will be along soon , he knows all about this in detail  ;) & will probably advise you on what to change to if needed

But STD ride height should be 675mm

It's a 2000 and a quick glance in the dark the springs looks too new to be original I would say, still nice black paint. Although can't see any record of them being changed in the history I have.
