O.k I need help if you can, I am wanting the eye brow hight of your lowered cars if you can and by that I mean the measurement from the centre of the wheel to the top of the gaurd as I am just trying to see exactly how low the car will sit. I know some of you have S/Lows and some have lows and some have eibach so if you you dont mind can you please let me know what springs used and the EBH please.
Much apreciated Adrian  :Last edited by FESTEC; 23-05-2009 at 02:34 PM. |

BlackLS if you could find a tape messure that would be really appreciated as it sometimes hard to tell how low a car is from a pic.

Keep in mind mine is an LX so the bodykit will not help ground clearances.

Mate, The XR5 springs are good but not that low when you put them in a standard Focus. The XR5 is much heavier in the front end. Fredo

When measuring heights, you should always measure from the center off your wheel.. That way regardless off tyre size's and ratio's you will away get an accurate measurement.... Measuring from the top off the tyre is pointless... Many different brands off tyres and differant widths and side wall ratios, means you going to get a lot off different measurements...
So always measure from the center off the wheel to the wheel arch... |
