Ride Height

[Dave82]

After trying a few different ways to get my escort of the drive without severve rubbing ive decided im not going to do it again and will need to raise the carfore i damage something! my car has koni suspension with Ab springs, does anyone know how much these lower the car by? And where is the best place to get standard springs from?

Thanks in Advance
Dave

There was a post on here in the last couple of days by someone asking how much there standard springs would be worth.

Surprised if you have rubbing with Ahmed springs, they're only supposed to lower by 10mm front and 20mm rear I think. Unless there are different spec springs.

Yes, it was me Neil, I've got the full set of standard shocks and springs off my car.

sorry rubbing was probably the wrong word to use, i mean my car scrapes the floor as its a steap drive

Ah, I get you now, I this Paul has a steep drive and I mentioned it to him I think when I saw it on his drive.

Has it only started to catch the ground since changing the suspension?

[Dave82]

I've only just got it

[Dave82]

It came with ab springs, hopefully will be ok with standard springs

[Kelv]

That could be a pain then, changing it all to find it still catches.
Is it only just grounding out, or doing so quote considerably?

When my neighbour isn't i'n it's not to bad as can drive across his drive a bit but used my drive for the first time tonight and exhaust left quite a big mark on drive

Ahmed springs and standard springs probably won't make alot of difference. I find with mine it is the exhaust that hits first. If the drive is wide enough try goin on at a slight diagonal approach it seems to clear then. Here's mine on ahmeds. Is yours about the same?

Before you start swapping springs about, do you know anyone locally with a standard ride height one? You could try their car then on your drive, where about in the UK are you?

I'm i'n castle donington, is hard to say as mine is on standard wheels, it's the White one Paul at north Yorkshire breakers sold a few weeks ago, it's gutting I carnt use it!
