How low is my suspension?

[cornishtaz]

I recently puchased a Calibra which has been lowered by a previous owner. The guy I bought it from doesn't know how low its been dropped (he didn't lower it). Does anybody know the normal ride height of a Calibra 2.0 Ecotec and where the measurement is made so I can then measure mine.

I'll get some pics up tomorrow

Mine has been loxered 40mm with an Apex kit. If you like we could meet up one evening next week, line the cars up side by side and compare wheel arch gaps etc........??

we measured by use of my finger and leg. (very scientific i know)

seems to be only 30mm but looks a lot lower.

30-5-35 mm i would say is the normal without you starting to get probs like going over speed bumps..lo

35mm drop looks like this:

I think mine might be a little lower. TommyC is checking mine tomorrow evening

After checking arch distance from the ground on both I reckon it's about 25-35mm drop. As i said mine's a 40mm drop and taz's is a little higher but there's not much in it!!
