Front spoiler ground clearance?

[derin100]

Could some kind soul please measure the ground clearane of their non-modified CSL at the front from its lowest point ie. at the botttom of the front splitters?

Even though I have sold my CSL, this is pertinent to my next potential purchase.

The CSL just about (by millimetres) cleared what I need it clear. I just what to check that my next potential purchase does as well.

Thank in advance.

What tyres, rims, suspension were you running?

[derin100]

Completely standard rims and tyres...can't remember what the front tyre dimensions were but whatever a CSL normally runs on:

I have 140mm to the bottom of the splitters and 100 mm to the under tray. Standard car and wheels

Many thanks for that Dave!

This could be a problem for me then. I measured the height of a new potential purchase at only 13 cm and my ex-CSL only just managed to clear the slope up on to my drive. I guess there may be some variation dependent upon the distance of the front spoiler to the centre of the front wheels i.e the shorter the over-hang the quicker the front spoiler will raised in height.

Cars come before concrete! Can you not sort the drive?

True! :hahaha:

We did modify it a bit for the CSL...but I think it'll need more of the same!
