Guest Terry S Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Can someone with Eibach's & Billies measure from the ground to the centre of the wheel arch lip front & rear for me please. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Not the answer you want but, when someone does post up the measurements, people can compare. Stock UK spec: F = 680mm R = 665mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I think this might be a LONG thread. From what I have seen the drop from Eibachs seems to vary from set to set and the shocks make a difference as well. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 That is why I asked. I have measurements for my old set up but mine was always lower at the front than everyone elses it seemed. The backs seem pretty uniform. With mine it was 645mm all round. I want to set up my new coilovers & if I can find an Eibach/Yellow Billies average I will use that as a starting point.

THOR Racing Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Terry, Mine is 625mm Front and 635mm Rear This is on Eibach's and KYB AGX adjustable shocks. 18" rims with 245*35 and 285*30 if memory serves me? (Just been to measure the height and cannot be botherd to go out to check the tyres again!) Pretty much the lowest Supra anyones seen! Bloody hard to get on any ramps as Leon will confirm! I now carry six pieces of 4"x2" as a pre-ramp lift! No idea why as Darrell Payne and Chris Rocks have exactly the same setup but are no where near as low! regards Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Bloody hell Pete that is low. Thought mine was bad. Must be a nightmare. Bet it looks nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could this be affected by body kits (possibly only the TRD one does wings?) or badly aligned body panels - or would that (hopefully) only be a few mm and so be discounted?

Modern undamaged shell alignment, even of bolt on panels is usually accurate to a mm or two. As for bodykits they all seem to fit where they touch (usually the bottom edge of the doors for a start, I think I'll corner the market on MKIV door shells when Toyota have a panel sale... :-)) so I wouldn't say they make a good reference point!

Need4Speed Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Can I suggest measuring under the front cross-member etc, then you will get a ride-height figure that means something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I'm running Eibachs and Bliiles 650mm floor to arch on the front with 245/40/18 345 centre of wheel to arch 665mm floor to arch on the rear with 275/35/18 (virtually bald!) 355 centre of wheel to arch Mine sounds like an off-roader compared to Petes! Sorry, I didn't want to lay on the floor for a crossmember measurement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can John, but I doubt anyone will bother. Chris, I understand what you are saying. Just wanted to make it quick & easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
