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. :welcome2::sofa:

TIA

Here are mine for a standard XR6T BA Mk2:

Left Front - 660

Right Front - 650

Left Rear - 668

Right Rear - 658

so the left side is 1cm higher than the right, and the rear basically 1cm higher than the front.

I measured my wifes car (1999 Nissan sentra) and they are within 2mm side to side, lower at the back.

Thanks.

I've figured out that some 10mm or so is due to differing fuel loads (nearly full versus nearly empty). 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
