   when we lower them on the car, we measure between the trailing arm (in line with the centre of the hub) and a marked point on the inner arch. standard height at the points we measure from is usually 200-205mm but obviously depends where on the arch you measure to!

   If they're 16inch wheels looks like it's down about 50mm to me
