Kylinski Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Been reading the spec on my ST Line X. The car has been lowered by 5mm. Really?? Hardly noticeable. What is the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Tango Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Might not just be 5mm their is more to take into account, lower centre of gravity albeit not a lot but it could be a much stiffer suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pragmatix Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I've just stopped cars both older ones a 2007 to a 2009 the 07 car had the sports suspension and the newer one had standard the difference is very obvious when driving much less roll on the sport suspension, I dont have any data on the ride heights but the 07 car sat lower when I had them side my side, not much but visually , probably about 8-10 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vectra Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Same with the Ovtavia vRS 15/18mm ( Not sure which. But to be fair. The Mondeo looks lowered. The vRS still looks like something on stilts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
