Btw there does appear to be a 10mm tolerance on the 675mm measurement. Both on the spec wheels in motion quote, and by measuring various cars. Some variance is inevitable obviously.


Where the Sachs from All Getman webby? There is a link to their on line store in parts section if needed. There's a phone number if the site isn't working.

No, Chris. They were brought from ECP.... but defo Sachs  :)

Ps, good to see you back mate. Was missing you  :'(....got to have someone to wind STMO up  :)

I think I'd check out reason for ride height difference at the front first.From your measurements there's a 15.24 mm variation which whether within tolerance or not is a fair difference assuming tyre pressures etc.are correct.Once front sorted then I'd possibly look at the rear set up.If  the car still handles alright and it's just the look that's bothering you then you can decide if it's a cost effective fix.

Yes (except 2.2sport or mv6 which is lower sports chassis at 660 )10mm tolerance allowing for body panel gaps and spring wear etc.

After thought.

... re pre face lift, which is also 675 standard ride height,  but not sure if pre face lift mv6 is also 15mm lower. Think it is lowered by shocks only going by Oof legend on here, just has different shocks, but not sure. :-\
