Raising the ride height

[ed55j]

As per title I am looking at getting height adjustable coilovers, namely the bilstein b14s. Got standard shocks and springs at the moment and would like more ground clearance. How high will the car sit on the b14s on their highest setting compared to the standard setup.
Thanks Ed.

Why would you like more ground clearance?

Rallying.

Have you looked in to the suspension set up of the Clio mk2 s2000?

S1600.

They used BOS suspension IIRC. ££££

Oooopsie.

I think the group n cars used Bilstein or Ohlins struts.
Not looking to spend mega bucks, would just be nice to have the height adjustability with good ground clearence when needed.

I used KW coilovers, raised about 12mm from standard.
