Honda Civic Ground Clearance

Ground clearance (also perceived as Ride height) describes the height from the lowest gap of the car’s underbody and the mark of the tires’ contact with the horizontal road. But, the manufacturer of the model might use some tweaks to the common measure to declare appealing result meaning the legitimate length from the shock absorbers, the engine oil pan or the muffler to the track is briefer than stated in the published characteristics.

It is no surprise while choosy consumers hunt for an enlarged ground clearance to bypass headache when parking near the curbs or riding through the bumpy land. The true ride height of the model fluctuates between 100 to 175 mm depending on the year of production and equipment. Don’t forget that a well- laden vehicle will beyond doubt lose about 1 inch of ground clearance.

Happily, the model ground clearance can be gained by using spacers for shock absorbers to get the auto sit higher off the ground. While building a higher model, you sacrifice a small chunk of the former balance and flexibility at high speeds. On the other hand model ground clearance can be shortened for the sake of enhanced handling and stability.

There a number of ways to increase ground clearance. When it comes to lifting or lowering your Honda Civic you can choose between bigger tires, a leveling kit, coil spring assisters, coilovers, airlift suspension, suspension lifts, etc.
