Post Question for RoW 030 owners

What is the distance from your oil drain plug to the ground?

It should be 10 mm closer to the ground than stock.

Yes, I understand that. But I'd like to know the real, as opposed to theoretical, distance. Also, I don't know the stock distance.

Kerry,

Sorry I did not measure mine before it was gone, but I can tell you it did not lower that much.

Here are the before and after numbers (ground to the fender lip).

RF 26-1/2" / 26"
LF 26-3/4" / 26-1/4"
RR 26-1/2" / 25-3/4"
LR 26-1/4" / 25-1/2"

Not for sure if this helps.

Scott

With the M030, you should probably install the engine protection plate.

Thanks, Scott. That is very interesting that you saw an even 1/2" drop all the way around. It's commonly known that the RoW M030 should drop the back .4" (10mm) and the front .8" (20mm) but the ride height tables also specify an error bar of .4". I would like to find some measurements from the oil drain plug (a bit more precise I think) as I think my USA standard suspension is low in the rear. I'm measuring about 25.75" to the fender lip for the rear.
