M sport ride height

Post by snrbrtsn » Mon Jul 24, 2017 11:21 am

Is it possible I could request someone measures their ride height

I've a 40d m sport, with self levelling suspension, that I think is running high on front.
The front springs were changed prior to purchase,
I'm taking reference from SE model with the ride heights I found online (picture attached)

My believe is the m sport, should ride 1" lower ???
Is it possible the incorrect springs have been installed, ie Se springs installed to an Msport

I've measured mine from ground to top of arch through the wheel centre cap and have the same measurements as per picture above.

Front 32.25"
Rear 31.75"

I've check spec against Vin & there's no bad road package or m sport suspension delete

19" or 20" wheels and tyres equates to the same overall height/ to keep the rolling circumference the same
The 19" just have a higher profile tyre.

Apparently the correct way to measure is from the wheel I'm sure it accounts for tyre sidewall profile.
