was it the N400 lowered then?

Not sure if its worth putting the Sports Pack Dampers on a 4.3 car or not, and maybe lowering it slightly.

Hi, can't answer your question in numbers. However, I changed from 2007 4.3 to 2011 4.7 with Sport Pack and ground clearance at the front (even with front splitter) is less of a problem with the Sport suspension.

Presumably this is at least partly explained by stiffer suspension reducing diving under braking at speed humps, but would suggest ground clearance is similar.

Certainly would advise anyone to get Sport Pack if possible. One of the mags described it as a much better match for the car than either the standard setup or the harsher Package on the S, and I would agree.
