Ride height

[del_tl1000r]

Hi all. After recent discussions with ZedConvert on another post which we inadvertantly hijacked I'm questioning whether my car could have been lowered slightly by a previous owner. Does anyone know the distance between the ground and the wheel arches front and back for a 23i with standard suspension?

I'll measure mine later and post it, it does look much higher than yours to the eye.

del_tl1000r, I've measured and mine is around the 680mm mark from floor to arch all round, give or take a few due to uneven ground).

That's on...
235/35/19 - 265/30/19

Not sure why yours fits the arches far better.

Hmmm........strange. Must just be the way the photo's are taken as that's almost exactly the same as mine. Maybe try taking it to a nice level car park and photograph it again, side on, at the same height I took mine and see how it looks

Cheers Rick So yours is marginally lower than mine. I guess my car must be standard then. If you check here
you'll see why I was asking.
