Thread: D2a Original Body Height

It varies between cars and there is a range of standard heights but:

Typical measured standard hub to guard heights are:
Front 475mm
Rear coil 470mm, and IIRC SLS was a little different.

All but 1 measured example sat at the lowest specified ride height from RAVE when new or newish.

RAVE Specifications:
Front 500mm +/-15
Rear coil 483 +/-15
Rear SLS 473 +/-15

Isn't there a height measurement on one of the interior sunvisors?
It's there for underground carpark heights & the like.

Even those are incorrect generally. I think it had 1980mm to the top of the rails, where mine never came to that height until I put a 2" lift into it.

Thanks Slunnie - I must need new glasses - missed that in RAVE!
