BA Astina Stock Height

project.r.racing · 03-07-2009, 11:04 AM

Hi all,

Just wondering what the stock height of a BA Astina is?

Mine hasn't been the stock height since 2003. And I'm an old fart and cannot remember what it was.

Can someone when the got a spare few moments, measure the distance from the centre of the front and rear hubs, to the top of their wheels arches please?

The above picture has the wheel removed. Please measure with the wheels on and the car on a flat surface please.

Cheers,
Ryan

You just know it's gonna be Rupewrecht who is lowest.

project.r.racing · 23-07-2009, 08:33 PM

Dunno, his Cucso front and rear camber tops add height a little. Maybe 20mm I think from memory? and may not matter due to the JICs fitted.

70NYD · 23-07-2009, 09:14 PM

damn haha i looze

Rupewrecht · 23-07-2009, 09:16 PM

Ah, will check on the weekend as it's parked on a hill atm.

But the Cusco tops only add 20mm with the standard shocks, not the coilover tops.

Rupewrecht · 27-07-2009, 02:16 PM

330mm front, 300 rear

project.r.racing · 27-07-2009, 03:39 PM

wow must look like one of those uber low rear end riced up honda accords/crxs being that low in the rear.

Rupewrecht · 27-07-2009, 03:53 PM

Hah nah, that's pretty much level. Must be the (apparently) different BA Hardtop guards!

project.r.racing · 27-07-2009, 03:55 PM

yeah i didn't think about that. i know the hardtops front guard sit lower and wider than hatchs. guess the rears are even more so like this then.

Rupewrecht · 27-07-2009, 04:00 PM

Dunno, i've never compared to be honest
