i've just fitted my protech front shocks, and the car seems a little high, even with the shocks backed right off.

i think it might be just the cut out arches making it appear high, i've spoken to rich at z cars, and he agrees.

but can someone give me a reference point dimension, i.e height of the headlight centre, or sill height, just to put my mind at rest.

As i'm securing the front end in a bit!

cheers

I have some rough figures for standard height:

Floor to front sill lip (where is finishes the curve) is approx 25cm
Floor to rear sill lip (again where the curve ends) is approx 28cm

Hope it helps

hmm interesting, was after a coilovered height really though, just to be sure!

cheers

ah, found it on the dvd!

the car is 3" too high at the back. As its on axle stands at the moment.

Which is , hopefully, causing it to be 1" high at the front!

Hopefully! I'll find out in the morning!
