    Default Vk standard ride height

    Does anyone know the standard ride height of a Vk commodore? I cant seem to find the ride height specs anywhere from the vn down I tried a search but come up with nothing. Any info would be great! Thanks

    Standard their work height is 188.75mm. I have into on sping guage, number of coils, seated pressure, rates etc if needed as well. There were other production options available such as an outback pack & the more well known FE2 suspension.

    cheers

    Rang the Vehicle Inspection mob here at Regency Park in Adelaide 4 advice on this same issue a while back now, they have a small part that deals wif vehicle mods.Guy ova the fone told me it's "eye brow" height.The distance from the centre of the hub to the top of the wheel arch.290mm front & 330mm rear from memory minimum...!!!.I bolted outside to measure mine.I have 5mm spare at the front & 10mm at the rear.Not sure of the spring heights in her Berlina as it was lowered by her bro previuosly...
