Title: Ride Height?
Post by: dew1911 on July 29, 2006, 16:57:51

Anyone know what ride height an 89 110 CSW should be sat at? Somones suggested mine could have a lift and it's puzzling me now...

tbh I really do not know... with the different suspension options and wheels ect avaliable to them it gets kind of hard to distinguish. It's just a mate said and showed a pic of another 110 CSW and there definetly seemed to be a little more air under the arch.

Plus the fact it has Baby Blue Springs and Orange Shocks :?

I thought my 90 was standard, then I had to put new shockers on the back and snapped 3 brand new ones before we established it had a 2" lift.  Got the longer shockers on and they have been fine.  Park it next to another 90 on 235/85s and it looks identical, but the springs were probably fitte din 1996, when it was rebuilt so they are 10 years old now.

Def not lifted, I'd even go so far as to say, if you fitted a new pair of rear springs it would sit a little higher.

I would agree, its not lifted. But looks like it needs new springs.

It sits well probably due to newer springs. :idea:
