djgelling Donating Members 128 Member For: 22y 2m 25d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 04/02/07 11:27 AM Share Posted 04/02/07 11:27 AM Can people with unmodified suspensions please provide me with some feedback on the ride heights of their cars measured from the bottom of the tyre to the top of the inside of the wheel arch please?? Front and rear and on 17" wheels preferably.I have my reasons........MY BA varies from front to back by around 20~25mm (660/665/680/675). The BF whilst flatter, sits 25mm lower than the BA at the back (655/655/645/655). Just trying to figure out if it's natural variation or something has sagged or maybe when they redid the BA's diff they did something wrong.Possible previous owner lowered it, but springs look like factory to me.

However I don't think that can account for the all of the 25mm difference.Anyone else care to contribute some numbers?? Probably good if you could give some indication of fuel load too,TIA Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/32319-babf-xr6-t-ride-heights/#findComment-494065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
