90 Puma Hardtop Arch height Help please.

I don't suppose anyone could please measure the height from the ground to the bottom of the eyebrow (above centre of wheel) at the front and rear, both sides, on a 90 Hardtop unladed on std suspension on 235.85s fitted to Boosts @ 25-30psi, parked on level ground. Sorry big ask i know.

i am after a rough figure, i know there are many possible variations, full tank full compared to nearly empty and vehicles not loaded the same but it will give me a starting point.

You can remove tyre size from the list of variables by measuring from the wheel centre. Darren

i know, but i thought people might find that harder guessing the middle of the rim esp if the logo is the wrong way up!.... i was trying the simple. Cheers

Hi JST, whilst not specifically answering your question, there are a few measurements here which may help.

great link thank you.

mine are 285mm front (std 250-260) and 280 mm rear (std 300) working off Gwyns measurements.

so too high at front and too low on rear! swapping them around would help possibly not sure on front spring rates though.

Time to find some std springs. Cheers

What we used to say back in the days of the 306. " that needs a 40mm drop and some cyclone alloys"
thats an old peugeot 306 joke from back in the day

I would fit good standard springs alround or a decent quailty upgraded one if you have the budget. I am thinking on changing my terramera stuff, as i dont rate the dampers at all. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back
