What's my suspension lowered by?

[Taggart 0]

I didn't measure what my drop was, but it's now sitting at 59cm front 60cm rear. My insurance need to know the drop.

Just tell em 50 or 60mm.

[Taggart 0]

I did guess 60, but by then I'd said I didn't know!

Ring them back and say you've just:

 

Put the original suspension back on;

Measured the height;

Re-fitted your new suspension;

Had the camber re-done;

Measured the new height

 

....and it's officially 53.46973 mm lower than before and just pray to god that's good enough for them.

59 front and 60 rear is a 50mm drop....as that's what mine is ;-)

Made no difference to the insurance price anyway. Fukwits

Better to declare it or they'll say "policy void, you didn't tell us the lowering height" w@nkers.

Then I said I've bought an ARB, which I said goes under the car, "no it doesn't" they say "it goes in the car in case you roll over"

 

Not sure where that ended up, think them might think it's a strut brace.

They'll be thinking you've fitted a roll cage :lol:

 

Muppets.

The main reason that Brentacre are easy to deal with, John knows exactly what he's on about when it comes to adding modifications

Aye, I think I'll be changing next year!

Excuse me for asking a silly question :oops: but when you say its 59cm front, 60cm rear, what points do you measure between?

[Taggart 0]

To the top bit of the arch?

 

I didn't have time to adjust mine before I put it in for camber adjustment, so I got the garage to level it.

Measure between the centre of the wheel and where the tape measure first contacts the wheel arch (vertically obviously).

Mine were measured from the floor

What if your tyres are squidgy?

[Taggart 0]

60 cm would be a bit far from the middle of the wheel IMO :) Proper 4x4 height

I didn't say that's how you had measured it!

[Taggart 0]

Well I got suggested to try 60cm, and kinda guessed where to measure it. I think it's a fairly mute point for me anyway, as they'll prob need adjusting after they've settled.

Off-topic but did the Royal Mail manage to get that indicator loom to you without losing it? If so, was it any good?!

Yeah, cheers mate, you are a star! Works perfect. Went out for a good drive sunday!
