Not sure of the exact figures but i am pretty sure that the GTE/GSi sits slightly lower as standard.

It has been asked before... quite some time ago now though.

Pretty sure GSi/GTE was 20mm lower than standard, dont quote me on it though.

With standard suspension my GSi was lower than my mates SR.

thought it was 35mm all round?

could be 20mm lower than standard?

Thing is non were ever the same - recall one NL user who has 2 SR's but wm side by side n one was higher than the other.

thats novas for ya!

60mm - should be standard on ALL novas!

:D
