T350c Height from ground

[valhalla]

Does anyone know what the correct height off the ground at the front & rear a T350c should be ??
Because i have looked a lots now, and mine seems to be a good 25mm lower than most of the newer cars(at the front),and 25mm higher (at the rear).

Dave...see my Tamora Geo thread...I think mine's the same

yeah sorry about the "clash of posts" Bruce, i did read yours first,but i think the T350 possibly sits quite a bit lower than a Tamora (a bit too low for comfort sometimes.
Perhaps together we can get some kind of rough idea what the ride heights should be.
I measured the front of mine on level ground the other day,and it was 10 mm higher on one side to the other.
(do you think that the shocks are put on straight out of the box??)

wasn't there a recall for the front suspension to be raised in the early cars? If your's hasn't had this, that could explain it. Well, not the wonkyness, but the low height generally.

As far as I know....

the first cars like mine at the front were very low about a strict 100mm. They then did a basic front suspension mod if asked which raised it slightly.

Now the front profile has been raised with a new syle nose. Don't know exactly when this happened but in the last 3-4months. This creates a noticable increase in front ground clearance.

You'll only notice the new profile if you put the two cars next to each other. Personnaly the older lower profile looks just a touch meaner however it does ground out more.....

.... mines a ground hugger !!!

Reminds me of a bloodhound, walzing around everywhere with its nose on the ground

At the front?

How about 85mm passenger side and 90mm driver side?

As part of the R&D process, I have been regularly re-profiling it's nose

So far it has not happened on speed-humps, it's been pulling off driveways (at as close as to zero mph as I can)

Car 1st registered mid-April.


Edited to say.

Is there a consensus as to whether or not early models were built with springs that are too short?

Which is why I've not sent ours back for the fix. I like the low profile!

Took mine in for the ride height adjustment...and took it back 3 days later as it was dangerous: Horrible understeer followed by the rear snapping out. I WAS warned by the mechanic that a few people who'd had it done weren't happy. Funny thing though, after I'd had the mod the nose used to touch coming out of the garage, but if the ride height had been raised this shouldn't have happened! Any ideas?
