Technical Standard 3dr dynamic ride height.

[stilotoby]

Hi guys, could someone with a standard 1.6 3 dr 2002 stilo measure the ride height for me front and back please? Or does anybody know it? I'm not convinced that the coilovers that are fitted are set right! Would be great to know tyre to arch distance, and also ground to sill height too.
Cheers Guys!

if you have proper coil overs coilovers you set the height to whatever you want. Set them high as standard or looooow to scrape everything. As long as the front left is same as front right and rear left same as rear right they are set.

Or do you mean you have standard suspension and want to check it. It may pay to explain what you think your problem is.

Hi, the coilovers were fitted by the previous owner, and are fully adjustable. I have evened them out as they weren't equal, but the car looks very low, and i don't believe it has just been dropped 50mm. I want to know the standard ride height and compare it to the current to find out how much it has been dropped. Thanks

just had a look at your pics and it may be nearer 60mm its been lowered but it doesn't look too extreme.

I recon it's about 60/70mm dropped from standard. I would like to know though! So if anybodys got a standard 3dr stilo and can measure the standard ride height, it would be really appreciated

i can't help. i have a fat diesel that sits lower at the front than a petrol one.

Ok I took pity on you and went outside with a tape measure in the cold much to the amusement of passers by lol.

Three door 1.6 Dynamic (52) Front wheel arch from the outer top centre to the floor approx 25 3/4 inches. Back wheel arch from outer top centre approx 26 inches.


Sons Stilo which is a 1.2 Active (02) measured exactly the same.
