no its not just you, for the last two years we've been complaining about the comical ride height, spring change gives you 25-35mm drop

I think in general the Rocco has too large a gap between the wheels and arches which give that sitting high impression so I don't think it's the 19" wheels

The bigger alloys won't really make the gap any different as the rolling radius is the same as it would be for say a 17" wheel, the car just sits high from standard

Yeah I said to The sales guy when I drove it out the showroom on saturday and he told me that when they get transported they have blocks in the suspension so it will take a bit ov driving for it to settle???
