5849, Ride height question
Posted by damasta, Jan-19-02 12:56 PM
Alright, I bought some used H&R springs a while back, installed them, they're awesome, looks awesome whatever. What I need someone to do is measure the gap between the ground and the metal lip/flange that runs below the door, underneath the car, if you have side skirts you might not be able to see it or something.

I've got 4 3/4 inches from flange to pavement, my stock front bumper is probably about the same although I haven't measured it with a tape measure. There's no gap between the top of the tire and the edge of the fender (front wheel).

Please let me know what YOUR ride height is and what drop your springs gave you (I can determine based on your height compared to mine :P). I was under the impression that the springs would drop me 1 1/2 inches but it seems to be more, now that they've settled and all.
