suspension height of blue/whitestars???

Post by **moonshine** » 13 Oct 2005, 18:23

anybody know the height of a standard whitestar?any measurement will do,so I can suss out how low mine's been put.
apparently they're 30mm lower from factory than other T3's.(?)
a measurement from centre of wheel cap to top of wheel arch will do so long as its on factory alloys,please

mines standard and measured 100mm
from top of tyre to bottom of arch, this
is the front arch, van set level-ish.

i see!,is your van factory lowered(is it a bluestar or similar-30mm drop)?
cos my front measures 750mm thats top of tyre to bottom of arch(as in the bit the tyre would rub on if it could,not the painted edge of wheel arch).
If yours is already 30mm down then I reckon mines in the 60mm lower region give or take the 50mm.
Sound about right?

mine aint lowered, its a standard 'velle,
yours will be lowered 25mm at that height,
looking to drop that much myself TBH.

oops...was too early for even basic maths for me!

This seems odd though cos a standard whitestar should be 30mm lower than your velle,and mines definitely very low at the front,and has uprated springs(and possibly shorter shocks),so I'd expect about a 60mm lowering job to have been done.hmmm

Try to take measurements from the centre of the hub to the bottom of the wheel arch. Tyres change dependant on size and wear.
