Standard Ride Height

[Rich Cheung]

Does anyone know what the standard ride height of an FD3 is ?
i.e measurement from centre of the wheel to the arch

Mine is stupid low and I\'ve just had a new bumper fitted meaning even less clearance. I\'m now having problems with small potholes on A-roads  :rolleyes:

So I want to find how much lower than standard I am and then look at getting the best deal on some other setup.

Cheers,

My \'97 RS on standard 17" Mazda wheels has the following ride heights.
All measured on the front to rear body seam joint, on a driveway, not a surface plate!!
Front measured in line with the front wing lower front bolt:

OS front 150mm
NS Front 140mm
OS Rear 160mm
NS Rear 145mm.

Kind of suprising really. I\'d expect the offside to be lower due the the (over)weight of the driver!!

I don\'t know if it\'s lowered. I think it looks it, but I haven\'t grounded it on speed bumps taken at a reasonable speed yet.

Cheers chap. So you don\'t know if they are original springs or aftermarket ?
Have you got any up close pics / side views ?

It\'s looking more likely I\'m gonna have to put original springs back on for now. Wish I could afford the group buy thats happening but must resist for now.
