My measurement: 55.5cm give or take a few mms.

Now using Freds measuring format.

Also...

Car: Cup 172
Wheels: 16"

 

[Fred@BTM]

you shouldnt measure to their mate, to imprecise, measure from the floor to where the front bumper/wing meet

to your "inaccurate" system mine is = 57cm

to my method mine is = 54cm

(17inch wheels)

 

[TheCake]

Ok hang on lol @ inaccurate... let me re-calculate.

55.5cms using Freds method.
Which shows Freds is slammed to fook.

Using your system 57cm.

Freds system 55cm.

Thats with just coilovers and sock wheels and tyres on my dynamic.

61.5cm, standard 1.2 Authentique. It looks like an off-roader

Becasue when i stick my Ibiza splitter on the front of my bumper will be about 3" off the ground

The way I work it is this (I fettle ride height on mine quite often depending on the sort of driving Im going to be doing): The Shoe Test...

If I can get my whole shoe under the front bumper then its normal ride height. If it catches on the laces, then its pretty low. If I can only get my toes under, its slammed.
