Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the standard ride height is for a Mk4 Golf GT TDi. I recently had a coilover suspension kit fitted and the person did it as a homer but didn't tell me how much he had lowered it. I am about to go on a wee trip with some of my mates up the northwest of Scotland and don't want the car to bottom out with all the bags and stuff in it. So I am going to get one of my mates to give me a hand to work the suspension up 5 or 10mm, but want to see what the ride height is so I can let my insurance company know it's dropped.

Also, where is it the manufacturers measure the height to and from? Is it from the bottom of the sill to the ground or something else?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
