dinkus 10 Posted October 28, 2004 the original measurment on my vr6 was about 3 foot it was a "double fister" I've just stuck brand new rear suspension on my VR and it's just a fraction below low earth orbit at the moment. Most lowering kits tend to lower 30mm+ from standard height. The thing is, that will be a measurement from a car that has just rolled out of the factory. Your 10yr old springs will have sagged a fair bit since new, so it's all a bit of a fudge. Looking at your avatar, I'd say you were down somewhere in the 50mm region, but it's just a guess.
