Pedders Track Suspension Tire Measure
Pete measures the new ride height for the Pedderised G8. This is taken from the bottom edge of the wheel lip, measured up through the center of the wheel to the painted edge of the fender. Pedders' method eliminates inflation, tire size, or any difference in the aspect ratio of the tire. It's the most consistent way Pedders has found to measure ride heights over the last 59 years. With the new coils, ride height was lowered 15mm, from 650mm to 635mm up front, and 38mm, from 644mm to 606mm in the rear.
