how high for suspension

Post by newbyferoza »

hey everybody just got my mate to buy a feroza and he bought a burgandy 94 wide track. I have told him about this site and he will be joining as soon as he can get a computer. He just wants to know whether his car has been lifted at all cause he says it looks a bit higher than the standard ferozas he has seen. He just wants to know some measurements from tyre to body. He is running standard 225 tyres. His does looks higher than my standard suspension, but my suspension is stuffed at the moment after going to straddie for easter.

Mines running 235/75/R15 tyres.. I know they are a size wider.. I think maybe a size or 2 higher profile also... And I think it's standard height..

If it was lifed enough for say 30" tyres you could tell without measuring....get a tape measure and go to a car yard where if there is a stock feroza and compare...it might have had new suspension put in.....does it have standard shocks? if it was lifted there might be an extra leaf?...

Someone got the measurement of standard??....... DAVE..oh Dave...! :D

Mine's a narrow track with different arch flares- a bit hard to compare measurements.....

The best way to measure height is from the centre of the hub/wheel to the arch/flare - that way tyre size is irrelevant to the final figure. ;)

ok... wouldnt he have had to raise his torsion bars in the front in order to fit the 235/75's? i wasnt able to go bigger than 205/70's when i bought my roza at first. as far as i know she was bone stock when i got her. the 205/70's rubbed so i knew they were pushing.

Does it matter how much it's been lifted :?: If he just wants to fit say 30's its irrelevant whether its been lifted or not really, they'll either fit or they won't. If not then lift some more :D
