I thought mine was low
Just under 30" front

Must be time for new springs do you think ?

New Forest Terrier wrote:Don't know if this muddies the water or helps. My tin top is 28.5 inch 73 cm from ground to top of wheel arch. This is running on 17in wheels, as imported. I calculate a lower of 10 to 15 cm. It does not have blue lowering springs, but is definitely lowered. It shows up as lower in a line of Bongos, plus two unlowered Bongos, including an Aero can get down my drive with easy clearance of the steep angle whilst I scrape if the line is not right.

The road holding is excellent but I would not to go any further down, for fear of speed bumps.
Or maybe your springs are just a little tired?
What size are the tyres on your 17inch wheels?
