NOVA GTE - Help needed

[_JH_]

I've just bought an f-plate gte for ?100 from a scrappy. body has had it, discs are warped, but everything else is fine. i am stripping everything and then the scrappy is taking the empty shell back. i can't tell if it is lowered or not. i know the engine is heavier, but the rear end looks low too. how long are the original GTE springs? i can't find it in my Haynes.

60 mm than sr's?

i hate to call you a lier and id love to be proven wrong

BUT

sr and gte / gsi are all the same ride height

however

the sr and gte and gsi are 15mm lower than standard BASE models such as merit and spin etc.

60mm is just pub talk i am afriad..............

well it's certainly lower more than a 15mm difference so i'm hoping its a set of springs which will work well on a smaller engined nova. only time will tell i suppose. cheers
