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?

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

Thanks in advance.

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!

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