Standard and Lowered TDi Ride Height

[bikerjim]

Morning Folks,

Im after some info on the standard ride height of a B4 chassi 1.9 TDi. If a few of you wouldn't mind posting up the distance from the wheel center to the wheel arch, and info on the suspension that is on the car I would really appreciate it.

Eg:

TDi Saloon, Standard Suspension, Front = xxx mm Rear = xxx mm
TDi Avant, 40-40 Lowing Suspension Kit, Front = xxx mm Rear = xxx mm

Many thanks in advance

Anyone fancy taking some measurements for me?

I'll grab a couple off my saloon in the morning, bog standard setup I think it's 660mm off the top of my head but will clarify in the morn.

[bikerjim]

That would be great, thank you.

Hi mate, measured this morning and on flat level ground it's sitting at 655mm, that's standard springs and shocks.

That's great, is that front or back? Wheel centre to arch edge?

[cadiddy]

Sorry misread what you were after, that measurement is from center of wheel arch to the ground, I'll grab the measurement your after at lunch time.
Btw that is front and rear, both the same.

[bikerjim]

Thanks man, that's great.

355mm rear and 365mm front mate from wheel center to arch edge, got a few tools in the boot which will explain the slight difference front to rear.

Nice one, thanks for taking the time to do that for me. I need some new suspension but have no clue what mine is lowered by but want the same lol.

No worries buddy anytime

I have a set of springs for tdi avant, PI make, new, lower and uprated but not exactly sure by how much?.....-30mm?

Thanks for the offer but I need shocks too so I'm going to buy a full matching kit.

Would be nice to get another couple of measurements off other vehicles too if anyone fancies putting up some results
