    Can someone measure their stock 430 for me? Ground to bottom of wheel arch. Just trying to figure out how much mine is lowered. Measurements are :

    Front : 26 Inches

    Rear : 27.25 Inches

    Thanks in advance!

    Can you get your hand in to feel the level of tread ? Yes - too high .... No - perfect.

    It is about an inch between the top of the tire and the fender (rear).

    Just trying to figure out how much it has been lowered. I am guessing an inch. I guess the best way to tell is measure the mm on the shocks.

    Mine has been lowered by a previous owner and currently measures:

    Front 26"
    Rear 27.5"


    Anyone know what the original factory setup is when measured this way? Perhaps it's country specific.

    Be careful lowering your vehicle!

    You will want to make sure that each corner is lowered correctly to not disrupt the weight distribution and rake of the vehicle. Also, if you lower the vehicle too much you will certainly roll out your fenders when the suspension is flexed and turning. We have seen a fender tear 4+inches due to being lowered and 20" wheels up front.

    Ciao,

    From what I understand, European spec cars are lower than North American spec ones.
