Working out how low i am !

[Spanky]

hey fellas, when i bought my car it was allready lowerd at the front, but i dont no how much it has been lowerd by, and i want to no!

how could i go about working this out?

i thought i could measure how far the front bumper/spliter is off the ground then find out how low a normal saxo is and work it out that way etc?

anyone got any ideas on how to go about this??

reason being is im going to be buying these http://www.kam-racing.com/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/24/products_id/100176 and im currently sitting on VTS rims and the tyre sits inline with the arch and looks perfect to me and i really like the look of it, and this kit lowers by 35mm (spoke to kam) and i want to no if it wil sit the same if not near enough or if id have to upgrade to 16inch wheels to get the same look!!

help please guys! REP IS AVAILABLE!!

measure how low a standard saxo is on a flat road then measure yours and calculate the differnce?? im not sure if it accurate but worth a try

Looking at the pictures your car looks like its down 50mm or more at the front, to keep the same look you'd need to get some 16"s. Search the forum for 35mm and you will see the difference.

would 16inch wheels sit under the archs ok if i had it lowerd 35mm tho? id probs be running 195/45/16 tires if i did get them? and how would vts wheels look with a 35mm drop, you reckon?

cheers for the help so far guys!! :y:

thats 35mm.

I've no idea about 16"s. I think 40mm is max with them though.

that looks good to me like! ill look further into if 16" wheels would fit! have some rep for the pics!

Just buy the B8 shocks and the faulkner springs. The grp n ones are overdamped for those springs. Will save you nearly £100 too.
