Stock ride height

Post by levi » Tue Sep 10, 2013 4:23 pm

Does anyone have specifications on the stock ride height for the 480 Turbo when they were new?

Mine seems not to be level, the front appears to be to high (or to low on the rear).

I have wondered about this, the front looks too high, and the back just right? Its putting me off getting a lower profile tyre as the front would look tiny in the wheel cavity... will bust a tape measure out in the morning....

I make the distanc between the front hub and the bottom for the front wing to b about 41 cm, or 13cm from my 185/55/15 tryre to the wing. this is about 9cm more than my rear which looks a lot more snug- any tips?
