Ground clearance (also known as Ride height) describes the space between the lowest point of the vehicle’s undercarriage and the edge of the tires’ contact with the level road. Still, the manufacturer of the model might employ a few cheats to the established procedures to claim enticing stats meaning the real area from the shock absorbers, the engine oil pan or the muffler to the track is slighter than specified in the official manual.
It is no surprise as long as rational car buyers pursue a lifted ground clearance to exclude issues when parking near the high edges or running through the non-unran landscape. The exact ride height of the model varies between mm in relation to the year of production and trim. Keep in mind that a well- loaded auto will surely sacrifice about 1 inch of ground clearance.
Fortunately, the model ground clearance can be escalated with the help of spacers for shock absorbers to help the car sit higher off the ground. While enjoying a taller model, you surrender a bit of the original balance and flexibility at high speeds. Instead model ground clearance can be reduced for enhanced handling and stability.
There a number of ways to increase ground clearance. When it comes to lifting or lowering your Lexus NX200 you can choose between bigger tires, a leveling kit, coil spring assisters, coilovers, airlift suspension, suspension lifts, etc.
