So is mine low? i have not done anything to the arches, and there is no rubbing of the tyres?

Knobby, may need your services with that grinder

i just measured mine and they measure 260mm on the rear and 280mm on the front, thats enough, the rears rub but thats because my wheels are pretty wide, taking it somewhere on saturday to have a look at them amongst other things....

deefa, just looked back at some pics of yours..... are you sure you measured 230mm? your doesn't look alot lower than mine?

Deefadog · « **Reply #27 on:** 26 July 2005, 19:20 »

Your right mate!

I lied, it's 295mm + 5mm for the plastic so 300mm (god know's how i measured it, must have been the stella)

so a drop of 30mm compared to a stadard valver and 60mm to the carb

So officialy what can i say my car has been lowered by? 30mm or 60mm

...joe · « **Reply #28 on:** 26 July 2005, 21:03 »

ooh now thats a question for the purests to answer!!! i'd say 60mm as thats where manufacturers measure the lowering rate from. wow that means mines lowered 100mm!!! still go down a bit though, i actually raised the front a while ago......

Deefadog · « **Reply #29 on:** 26 July 2005, 21:37 »

I'll go with 60mm

I do have adjustable dampers all round, but that's just for the ride ain't it? i am rubish with all this lowering lark
