    Standard Ride height on a Mk2 Astra GTE?

    Would anyone happen to know the standard ride height of a GTE?

    We're trying to work out how much we've lowered my dads GTE by. We brought a GTE with an Apex suspension kit on for parts to go onto my dads car, there is no indication on the
    springs as to how much they lower by.

    Cheers guys

    Thats what i'm saying, we don't know how much it's lowered by though. 15" wheels btw. does it look about 60 mm?

    Back does, maybe due to heavier rear... front around 40-50mm.

    Looking at that the front doesn't look lowered.

    I'd say -30mm going by front. They arent that low to begin with but the 16v was lower than an 8v.
    it's a C20XE not a fookin Redtop FFS
