So the story goes I have wanted a 2 inch lift for some time, Zordo's sorted me out and I fitted it myself. Success, although a ratcheting spanner is a must for the top nut. Anyway the car height is 1965mm, and highest at the rear, not a problem for my home garage, but instantly I have noticed the number of car parks that have height restrictions.
I drove into my work car park and.. CLANG hit the warning sign that swings on a chain. *#$*%# Oh bother I said. I thought it was a glancing blow and still drove into the carpark and survived but absolutely crawled around. The work carpark is rated at 1930mm max so they must allow some tolerance, or I was just lucky.
Looking around for other car parks in Perth I notice it's not uncommon to have a 1900-1950mm height limit. What does everyone else do ? I am guessing they find a street park when they have to or use public transport/ second car ? Perth has a lot of four wheelers with racks and baskets, no way these are making it into the underground carparks.
I think the roof rails will be going to increase my clearance and the survivability of my car when the wife takes it.
