Just How Low Are You

[BRUN]

my front bumper is 89mm from the floor.........

how low is yours Fred ?

 

[Rich-D]

Bet my R5 GT Turbo is lower.

Will measure it...

 

[KDF]

Dunno, my 172 is standard and I still have to watch for kerbs when parking up in my work.. already had to pay to have the lower bumper bit resprayed after scratching it on a kerb.

 

[Ben j]

86mm

 

[Fred@BTM]

erm shockingly its over 90mm!!!!!! cant tell exactly as its dark, but i think i need to get the spanners out tomorrow!!!!!

 

[Lunner]

170mm, but then that is with standard suspension and front bumper, when i get my 35mm spax drop and KTR Combat front bumper i amagine it will be about 50mm

 

[Tom_16v]

Ill measure mine tomorrow, missus has got the car tonight.

 

[Daz]

130mm.. and thats with a deep bodykit and -35mm all round.

... and it still scrapes! I wanted to go lower, but really.. itd make it unreal in multi-story car parks!

 

[Rich-D]

[BRUN]

Wouldnt you need to lower the car 120mm for it to be 50mm from the floor!!!

 

[Essex_Lad]

the combat front bumper will be lower so he will need to drop it bout 55mm

 

[RobFenn]

That doesnt make sense fred..mine is lowered only 80mm and im 8cm off the ground. And that was with a shatter resistant ruler so clearly accurate Standard is 16cm!

[Tom]

Mine is 82mm off the ground.

 

[Levo]

Mines 180mm, I think thats the highest on here, time to get new springs I think.

I dunno that was only a guess, i have no idea how much lower the combat bumper is that the orignal. Dont want it too low, i have fat m8s

 

[Fred@BTM]

well a fag packet fits under the front bumper (standing up) and thats it!!!

Remember rob its on 17s

Not much 60mm drop, but the springs are well run in.

 

[RobFenn]

Wheres everyone measuring from? Im doing right at the front of the bumper..at the back of splitter it goes down a bit though..sure that would count for another 5mm!

Anyway, on the presumption that merlincancan is a blagger, i win!
