Smokydiesel Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hi, Just bought my first classic, so I'm new to this forum. It's a 1992 (V8) Vogue SE with coil springs and running on 255/65/16 tyres. Now while looking at this great machine it seems a bit low. I'm wondering if the previous owner has lowered it. Could someone help me with some measurements ? Measuring at the front, right over the centre-hub of the front wheel, I've got 31 inches (79 cm) from floor to the lowest bit of the wheelarch. At the back it's 33 inches (84 cm) Thanks a lot ! Edwin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g&t Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 '87 V8 Vogue auto, no air-con. retro-fitted with anti-roll bars. Coils & dampers recently replaced, all genuine LR parts - using your measuring method I have 31 inches (+/- half an inch) both front & rear. Hope this helps.

g&t Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Forgot to mention, I'm running standard 205 tyres. These & 215's were the only sizes the classic was designed for so I don't know if your tyres will effect the ride height in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess the front is OK, just need to have a look at the back.....(that RAM thingy..) Cheers, Edwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
