mv6 suspension height
« on: 14 November 2018, 19:45:02 »
My MV6 Is on original mv6 shocks and springs at 137k

car rides ok and isnt sagging.. still got rake and put four adults and boot of luggage is still ok

does anyone know the stock ride height of mv6

mine with handbrake on on flat ground measured from ground to centre of arch
front  663mm
rear 674mm

is this rufly right what should they be new mv6 wise?

im in process of replacing all suspension.. wishbones, idler arms, steering links, top mounts, bushes. And im going to fit new shocks and eibach springs.

but im going to fit thicker insulating bushes to SPRINGS try and get eibach spring sitting rufly as std MV6. but obviously they be a tad stiffer which be nice

690 rings a bell for standard iirc... Mv6 is - 15(675) and Eibachs - 30(660)... Also should be the same both ends :y

So front is pretty much where it will be with the Eibachs fitted. Thicker spring pads don't exist for the fronts.

So front is pretty much where it will be with the Eibachs fitted. Thicker spring pads don't exist for the fronts.

If front sits rufly same thats great.. they do make spacers for front .. just listed for monaro as monaro springs fit omega shocks..

But im making them myself anyways

Rear spacers been made to get rear right with eibachs

They sit level ::) the rake is a visual illusion as a result of a rising waist line ;)

Sills and wheel arch centres are parallel to the ground.

675mm ie 690 standard minus 15mm ::)

New top mounts would restore most of the front loss as they compress over time...

Stop being a dick head.

In your own words, your cars' natural position is basically level.

The saloon pic at the top of that list looks like the car is raked, but actually the ground drops away behind it.

All cars will roll back when the rear is facing down hill. It has the effect of raising the rear end as the weight of the car pulls down the slope against the gearbox/handbrake.

Also saloon and estate chassis are identical to the centre line of the rear wheels, so what is true for one is also true for another.

When it left the factory, regardless of suspension/model specs, thefront and rear scissor jack points are exactly the same height off the ground.

This is because the bottom of the sill is parallel to the ground.
