body height by huggy on Fri Feb 29, 2008 9:11 am
i was parked behind an l reg lwb yesterday and i noticed my r reg lwb was sitting a good 2 inches higher,they both had the same alloys on,now as far as i know mine is all bog standard,do the older models sit lower or is this l reg in need of new springs ect?

I know that my old R reg 2litre SWB was an inch Higher allround compared to my 2.8TD SWB ... so theres deff some difference.
2.8TD SWB in ASBO Green

Its not the size of your engine....its how you use it that counts !

Age (or saggyness) of the suspension could be a contributary factor, likewise the size of the engine (weight) and what's in the boot.

The leaf A's had slightly different front wing trims and bigger tyres as standard, which makes them look taller.

Besides, it's not how tall it is but what you do with it that counts.

Re: body height by Drift on Sat Mar 01, 2008 2:23 am
Ok I miss read the post :roll:

The coils as yours are, and a younger car as Trugga was pointing out will sagg a bit less then the car you where next to as the age of the car, L reg with the same leaf suspension from new would have sagged considerably .

From new they would have both been the same give or take mm's.

The car you saw nay have hauled caravans aroud for 10 years... you never know :wink:
