Suspension height query

[fazi123]

Hi guys,

I was wondering whether anybody with H&R or Eibach springs with a 30mm drop can measure the distance between the centre cap and the arch and share the data with me?

I've recently installed coilovers and was hoping to get the ride hight set up similar to the above setups!

Thanks in advance!

Anybody able to help me out?

Hello,

I have Eibach on mine GTi, but are part of the Bilstein B12 kit. DO you want me to measure?

I can get some H&R measurements tomorrow afternoon if you remind me.

Hey guys! Thanks for getting back to me.

I'd appreciate both sets of figures from the 2 of you @Panthera @AJP

Could you both please measure the gap both at the front and the back?

Thanks again,
Faz

Will do mate - like I said, just remind me around 3pm tomorrow, PM me or something.

Right, H&R as promised.

Front 330mm
Rear 325mm

So if anything, a little rear rake. If I had the luxury of coilovers but wanted to stay at roughly this height I'd go for Front 320mm and rear 325mm.

Thanks @AJP

Much appreciated!

Just to confirm the measurements you took were from the middle of the centre cap to the top of the arch?

No problem, happy to help.

Yes, centre of wheel to top of arch. I measured a few times to make sure. To be honest, once you've got the coilovers on you'll probably tweak it a few mm here and there to get it sitting how you want. As springs go the H&Rs sit quite nicely, but like I said an extra 5-10mm down at the front will be pretty much perfect to my eye.
