Technical Seicento sporting ride height?

[GoBe]

Does anyone know the ride height of the standard Seicento sporting springs from the middle of the hub to the top of the arch? Thanks.

check the stickys,there is a thread giving various heights

I saw the sticky however one little problem, no one has listed if the car is a Sei or Cinq sporting for the std suspension and they will most likely be different even if the spring length is the same.

 

[custard]

differences will be nominal realistically considering the differences between even standard cars

Why do you ask?

If we knew the reasons behind your thinking we might be able to be of more help?

I'm trying to work out if the car has been lowered or if it's just got silly drivers side sag on stock suspension.

all cinq/seis lean to one side pretty much sure the suspension was standard on that sei its 20mm lower then a normal sei s or SX

Post a pic.

It may have also been on bigger wheels at some point rather than the ones that are on now

I've measured it twice now (I think I messed up the first lot) and get
Front - 323mm/309mm
Rear - 312mm/296mm
which to me is a little too low for stock... but I'm not sure exactly how low a Sei sporting sits.

And a pic which Gaz took.

its rolling on 15" btw

I'd swear that's been lowered. I'd guess by 20mm.

 

[gazzaman2k]

that was mine when on standard springs on 15" wheels and mines an Seicento SX

That second photo shows me the car has been lowered, it's more than a 20mm drop, more so at the rear. If I was to guess 40 to 50mm at the rear, more like 35mm at the front, which is about right for -40mm non-sporting springs
