How tall is your Mk4?

[dylan8]

Hi Guys,
After trying to work out how much lower my car is then factory, I realized I never wrote down the original heights, and even then it may have sagged a lot already.

Sooooo, thought I might try and put together a thread of all the Australian Mk4s and there various heights and set ups.

Also included parts like sway bars, end links, tyre size etc

Best way I believe to measure is from the ground to the arch.

This will also be good for newbies to see what set up might achieve what and what it will look like.
It'd be great to see some heights of stock cars also

Car: Bora
Engine: 2lt
KM: 155,000+
Suspension: TA Technix Coilovers (same as hot tuning I believe)
Sway Bar: Adjustable Whiteline
End links: Stock
Tyres: 195/45/17 F and 205/45/17 R
Heights (ground to arches): 24' F and 23.5' R
Heights (centre of wheel to arch):
Comments: My 195/45 tires are WAY to small for height of my car, leaving it with a huge wheel gap that makes it look not so low

The roof of my car reaches in the girlfriends words "the nipples of my perky boobs", and she is 5"2.... so low.......

Your best to measure from the centre of the wheel to the lip of the guard since that will show how far you have dropped and gives a nice and easy distance to measure.

I'm gonna have to measure mine today because the back of my car seems way higher than other stock 2.0's its like there's a lift kit on the back and the back only haha

i'm not even as low as you guys.
front: 25"
back: 25"
ground to arch that is - i only sometimes and very rarely hit the swaybar (stupid speed bumps and people up your arse..)
even then its way low with the r32 bumper. and my control arms are about 95mm from the ground.. i have no idea how americans run there cars so low.. i dont wanna go lower than that so i can preserve some of the handling characteristics i have now..
