Touareg compared to a Pajero DiD

Sounds like we need someone with an un-modified R5 to confirm their 'ride height'. I think FlipperDogs method of sliding an aerosol can under all the lowest points of the car is a really good and easy test. The bent tape measure looks a little more controversial.

Understandably you're going to feel a bit jibbed, if your 45-50mm lift kit has only resulted in 5-10mm more than stock

Well befor I had the suspension modyfied the messure on the mudguards was only around 850mm, so istill got my lift

Just got home to read this thread and had a look at the measurements as Sumar has taken.

That checks with my messures I took of the loan Treg, I my have had in sport mode, I cant double check anymore as it has gone back. My own still has clearance of 245mm but that is with my 45-50mm lifted suspension.
The other messuring point for veryfication is the higest point on the mudguards, mine read between 895-900mm, the loaner at high setting was 900mm xtra heigh was front 920-5mm and rear was 930mm. It certainly has me puzzled

I am looking at 878mm front and 880mm rear. The vehicle has no cargo onboard and 1/3 tank of fuel, I do also have the tow bar with tongue fitted.
Do you think that Volkswagen has raised the vehicle by 30mm for the facelift model or is it that the R5 was lower due to it's suspension configeration?

Well befor I had the suspension modyfied the messure on the mudguards was only around 850mm, so istill got my lift

Someone should make a trip to a dealer with a tape measure to look at a new R5 and steel V6 FSI

More for the mix, my front and rear guards are at approx 870mm +/- 2. Half a tank and no load.

I'm not disputing anyone's measurements, but for my usage, it's not quite enough.

Cheers
