[CL9]Ground cleareance + lowest legal drop

[[SDCTVE]]

hey guys,
does anyone know the ground clearance of the CL9? according to drive.com.au the ground clearance is 120mm, can someone verify this?
and is it true the the lowest legal limit is 100mm from the lowest point of the car?

according to this info this means the most you can lower a CL9 legally will be only a 20mm drop? I find that hard to believe as the car looks like it sits fairly high!

I measured the space from the top of my tyre to the start of the guard and its 70mm! that's huge!

That's my understanding of it but it seems to vary slightly from state to state.Mine's dropped approx.35mm!!!

The ground clearance of the CL9 is more closer to 140-150mm from what i recall reading.

thats more what I was thinking.

^I just did a quick google, and there are several sites as well as the actual CL9 brochure that says laden ground clearance if only 120mm?!
The new CU2 has 150mm clearance. Can someone confirm? But Honda cant be wrong though...

[ricerockets]

maybe its because the chassis rails and exhaust hang lower than the body of the car

air bags it! ground clearance prob fixed. ;p

it's been done on CL9, CU2 and Odyssey in Sydney.

put a can of coke under it...DONE

that can of coke theory is Bull!

lol...all we needed was a dictionary - well i did anyways.
The 120mm ground clearance was measured when the car was "laden" .....aka FULLY LOADED!! I thought laden meant the opposite, thus the confusion lol

So ground clearance normally when unloaded/unladen (if there is such a word), would be closer to 140-150mm stock.

so what is the legal amount you can drop the euro ? (nsw)

I think most people would say 20mm
