Stock ride height

Hi all

I have a EUDM gen 4 2.0R wagon and want to lower it using OEM springs (not because I want to, but because the Belgian law gives no other options).

So, I have fitted B6 Bilsteins with new KYB springs (OEM spec) and my ride height is (tyres are 215 / 45 / 17):

front: center hub to arch 405mm - tarmac to arch 704mm

rear: center hub to arch 388mm - tarmac to arch 686mm

Can you guys give me some measurements from 2.0GT, 2.0GT spec B's and maybe (if someone has one) a 2.0R spec B. A VIN number would be very convenient as it would allow me to look up part numbers.

Thanks

Thomas

Others may be able to confirm, but the OEM gen 4 Tuned by STI model, which I am pretty sure sits on STI pink springs is going to be the lowest option from factory. I reckon that is the measurement and parts you will want.

Not easy to lower the front of a 2.0r as its somewhat lighter at the front, iirc kings ssl front springs are the key.
But you can google this forum to see what others have done.

Or iirc Bilstein coilovers were a factory option in japan: could that get you past the laws?

Vin number lookup info is in the parts link in my signature below.
