Title: Standard Ride Height Question
Post by: Ol_Girl_58 on July 20, 2013, 10:05:23 PM
Hi all,

I've involved an engineer in my build, and part of the process involves presenting the transport department with stock ride height measurements. My internet searches have proved fruitless. Can someone supply me with the following stock dimensions, please?

Kind regards,

Josh   :)

I have only ever had cops and RTA measure to the centre of the headlight which was 600mm but im sure thats a very old rule of thumb.

Be intresting to know uf they really check this one.

I doubt I'll ever be pulled over and checked, Pete - but this is part of the Tas modification form. I need to supply them with factory ride height specs, and then give them my proposed ride height specs.

Ill measure my ute thats low and tell you what it is.

Seems extremely stupid as all cars differ.
Good to see nsw is not the only stupid state.

Is your FE standard height Pete? Could you measure that too, please?

In my opinion its a stupid process, as they also want to know the ride height I plan to run. Keeping in mind that I'm meant to submit this application before I start any modifications to the car... :-\
