Is my car lowered or standard?

[Heather]

One of my rear springs has broken and woundered if you'd mind measuring from the top of the wheel arch to the ground for me front and back to see if mine are lowered.

I don't want to put standard springs on and find out that they should be lowerd. (may just go for a full set of -40 G-max anyway)

Thanks
Heather

what colour are your springs?

most lowered springs are usually red or yellow, the standard ones are black.

The're black

My Eibach -35s are also black.

Would you mind measuring from the road to the wheel arch to compare

[jonnyboy]

Measure from the centre of the wheel or the hub as different size tyres will give you different floor - arch heights.

[Heather]

Thanks, mine is 360mm from centre of wheel to top lip of arch where it sticks out

I have two cally turbo spings, they are free if you want them...

Thanks, will they fit & where are you (midlands here)

[daddycool]

Heather, it would help if you mentioned which model Cally you have as different models had different suspension as standard.

IMHO you should get a full set of lowered springs and not just renew the broken one/s.

I've only got the 8V (sorry thought I'd put that)

If the springs are standard I may just change the back ones but if I fit lower ones I will do them all.

I have been quoted £32.61 +VAT EACH for standard springs and £81 +VAT for a lower set from the same garage. Just worried about speed bumps etc. (Hubby had an Arkley lowered 3" and we couldn't go any ware where the lines were too thick on the road)

But I'm sure you will be OK with -35mm springs on you Cally. They are also a bit stiffer so don't 'dip' as much when going over the dreaded speed bumps [img]/smile.gif[/img]

I have a brand new boxed set of G-max springs for the 8v that I am asking £40 + postage (will let you know the postage cost)
