Hi, could anyone tell me the eye to eye dim for the shocks when the car is on the ground ?
i havent bought my shocks yet but want to sit the car on its wheels with dummy shocks, at about the right ride height.
whats the normal ride height ? (chassis to ground).
thanks in advance

bottom rail should be about 120mm off the ground.

If I remember correctly shox eye to eye is 13".
As Ash said the bottom rails should be about 120mm


(sorry for mixing my measurements)

Another vote for 13"

Just went out & measured my chassis, Zetec engine & box fitted ;)
