Standard ride height measurements 940 estate

[ie940]

Hi, I've trawled the web and there's no clear measurement on this.

I'd like the ride height measurement for a standard 940 estate so I can 1) understand what height mine is vs standard and 2) order some appropriate replacement springs.

Mine appears to be 65cm (+- 5mm) on all corners from the floor to the arch lip through the wheel centre line. However it's not totally factory (Monroe air shocks, for example).

Can anyone help?

I have some data and will check it for you

The rear should have much smaller gap than the front

Your measurements are not comparable. If data you can compare to another car you need to measure from the arch lip the hub centre

That'd be ace thanks. Fair point on the measurements I did initially plan centre to lip but the standard fitment of original wheels being so inset made it a little harder.

The data pocket mentions that the overall height of the car should be 1410-1460

Saw that but that's 5 cm variation which isn't very useful for a benchmark when lowering 4cm!

That's great thanks, what do you mean "top edge of metal on wheels archs"? Do you mean lower most edge of arch lip? Also what tyre size?
