TR7 or 8 ride height

Postby Ianftr8 » 09 Feb 2009 15:07

All,

I have been asked by a freind of mine having problems with his 7V8 and no web access what the correct ride height should be.

Now I have explained that this question can be followed by about a million answers, but assuming that the car is running original stock size wheels and tyres and standard springs and shockers - what would be the measurement from the floor to the top of the wheel arch?

Cheers
Ian

The dimensions for ride height (standard from floor to top of wheel arches) should be approximately ;
Front 610mm or 24â€￾
Rear 635mm or 25â€￾
