Clearance Rover 800

Ground clearance is the distance from the lowest point in the center of the car body to the ground. However, the manufacturer of Rover 800 measures ground clearance as it suits him. This means that the distance from the shock absorbers, engine oil pan or muffler to the asphalt may be less than the stated ground clearance.

An interesting point: car buyers pay special attention to ground clearance, because in our country good ground clearance is a necessity; it will save you from headaches when parking to curbs.

The ride height of the Rover 800 ranges from 140 to 145 mm. But be careful when going on vacation or returning with shopping: a loaded car will easily lose 2-3 centimeters of ground clearance.

If desired, the ground clearance of any car can be increased using spacers for shock absorbers. The car will become taller. However, it will lose its former stability at high speeds and will lose greatly in maneuverability. The ground clearance can also be reduced; for this, as a rule, it is enough to replace the standard shock absorbers with tuning ones: the handling and stability will immediately please you.
