New car looks high on the 19" upgrade
Might just be me but as any1 noticed that there car is high, is it just the 19" upgraded wheels?

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

But yeah could go with going a bit lower...it will be sorted in 2011.

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???
