Standard gti ride height

Post by Gillen »

Does anyone know what the standard ride height is, like a measurement from the centre of the wheel cap to the arch, for example.

I'd like to know how much mine is lowered by.

Thanks :)

I have a note on my phone with some measurements made before/after lowering mine - but they may not be very accurate.

measured (if I remember correctly) from the upper edge of the rim to the arch (see photo) with standard wheels.
rear - 14cm
front - 12.5cm

after lowering - 10cm on both front and rear.

Cheers for that mate ^

My back ones are a 9cm gap and the fronts are 8cm

So lowered 50mm on the back, 45mm on the fronts. I thought it was loads lower on the front. :(

If anyone has any (or could get any ;)) measurements for the centre of the centre cap to the arch that'd be great. Mines 31.5cm from the centre of the wheel to the arch on the rear, 30cm on the fronts.
