body height

[huggy]

i was parked behind an l reg lwb yesterday and i noticed my r reg lwb was sitting a good 2 inches higher,they both had the same alloys on,now as far as i know mine is all bog standard,do the older models sit lower or is this l reg in need of new springs ect?

i read on here some were LINKY SOMEONE!!!! that there is a hight difference between some of them x

I know that my old R reg 2litre SWB was an inch Higher allround compared to my 2.8TD SWB ... so theres deff some difference.

The B's where made a tad lower to improve road handling

Nothing a small lift kit wouldnt fix though

Age (or saggyness) of the suspension could be a contributary factor, likewise the size of the engine (weight) and what's in the boot.

The leaf A's had slightly different front wing trims and bigger tyres as standard, which makes them look taller.

Besides, it's not how tall it is but what you do with it that counts.

well its old yes so maybe thats why,engine was a 2.4,had the drop down tailgate with an empty boot,the only weight was the the teddybears stuck to the windows.
mine is coil sprung so why is sat higher than the leaf sprung l reg.

I thought Some R reg frontys are B series

Ok I miss read the post

The coils as yours are, and a younger car as Trugga was pointing out will sagg a bit less then the car you where next to as the age of the car, L reg with the same leaf suspension from new would have sagged considerably .

From new they would have both been the same give or take mm's.

The car you saw nay have hauled caravans aroud for 10 years... you never know

ye i agree i think the l reg has done its rounds,i dont think its towing though,it was pretty level,if it was a tow car the back end would sit low. still it was in damn good nick for its age so i hope mine looks that good at that age

They both had same allies on, what about boots? could make an inch or to there.
