Ride Height ??

[daveandlesley]

Can any one tell me the ride height of a pre cat griff at the rear??

I was at Chatsworth run on sat and ground out a couple of times and yes I know I'm fat yes realy fat but the car is about 20mm lower on the near side than off side. Has the rear springs gone soft or is it a bigger problem??

You should be looking for around 145mm from ground to outriggers at the front and about 15mm higher at the rear.
Measure at the corners of the outriggers.

ruddy hell, they are all over the place, it must handle like a high speed milk float
Get some new adjustable ones - there's loads of info and plenty of debate on here about which ones, I'll leave it to you to have a read and a chuckle rather than trying to sway you.

Nice engine bay shot, come by more often and welcome to the pre-cat club. We're the bedrock of this forum

Hi Dave,

Thought it looked a bit low on one side when we were following you on Saturday at one point. (strangely it was Mrs MoJo that noticed).

Oh and a big thankyou for stopping and helping when mine cut out !! Was relieved when it fired back up again, top advice
