Tuscan 2 Ride Height

[THB]

I've got a Tuscan 2 Convertible and I reckon it looks like its riding a bit high on its suspension for a sports car. I am sure this is just because of the spec that was choosen when it was ordered (Comfort spec I would guess), but there still seems to be too much air under wheel arches for my taste.

I haven't got a picture of my car handy, but I've noticed this one is the same



Any ideas if this can be solved simply? Is it just a case of replacing the coil springs with smaller ones, or would I need new shocks as well?

If it is an S spec then I think these come with height-adjustable suspension....I could be wrong though,

No - its just normal spec

The Tuscan should have height adjustable suspension as standard. I had my non S mk1 suspension adjusted to its max ride height of about 90mm so that it won't bottom out in the crap roads in Australia. Its really straight forward to do if you can get under your car.

The suspension should be Bilstein so should be height adjustable, the one in the pic looks way too high.

I think it's just that 'S's were setup differently from the factory, don't see why a non 'S' couldn't be changed...There was an earlier thread that refered to setups (referenced Ben Lang )..I'll try and find it...

Are those 16" wheels??? Could explain why it looks strange??
