Setting ride height

[edhorne]

Hi everyone

I have my new Gaz Gold Pro kit all fitted to the car but I need to set the ride height.

Is there a rule of thumb for number of turns of adjuster equals mm of ride height?

Any help would be gratefully received!

Cheers

Ed

Not really, best to measure it.
Also measure it again after a few miles as the springs will have 'settled' and the ride height might need resetting.

Yeah, that's how I did mine as well when I replace my springs.

Thanks for the input.

It was more the case that I didn't want to have to try several times to get the ride height correct as its a bit of a pain to drive over a piece of wood to jack the car up every time to set each corner. Then go for a drive for it to settle, then measure and then jack up again to lower/raise a few more mm.

I will have an experiment myself.

I assume that I can't measure the change in height of the spring platform because the damper is at an angle?
