Standard Ride Height

[Jimbo5000]

Hi All,

When I bought my willy 3 it came lowered (front springs and torsion bar mods only). It came with the 'standard' springs and I eventually got around to putting them on the car. However I feel it looks a little too high...

I can measure a 4cm gap between the top of the front tyre and the wheel arch. Is that right? I swear my old vavler wasnt that height and (as far as I knew) that was standard.

I got new shocks and other strut bits when I put the springs on so its all new stuff other than the springs.

Thanks

James

HI

Its Colins friend here. Hope the Williams is going well :o

Mine is about the same as you 3 to 4 cm from wheel to arch.

Your/colins car is on the left when it was "lowered" and my "standard" car is on the right.



Hope this helps!

172 Cup springs are in the middle of those two I reckon

Thanks for the pic Andrew.

I think mine looks about the same if a little higher, but not by much. Bit hard to tell from the pic really, doesnt help that my camera broke so cant put 2 pics next to each other to compare.

Car is running ok at the mo. Planning on some major work sometime soon though, namely the rear arches and drivers side sil due to rust issues and clutch (possabily too gearbox while its out). Just a matter of funds at the mo as had to spend quite a bit on it since I've had it.

Cheers daz, am thinking mine is a bit higher than normal now, only by 1 cm or there abouts though Maybe the springs I got are not genuine.

Yours was lower than mine!!!

Is that possible and still be usable on public roads? I was having enough trouble with speed humps as it was!
