Overall Height with Pop Top

[Voodoo_Pirate]

We have a T6.1 on Eibach pro street coilovers, lowered by around 60/70mm on 20 inch wheels. We have a Skyline pop top (NOT the slimline version) and the total height is around 1.98m ish.

It’s low, and feels low so we have to watch out for the potholes and take it nice and slow over speed bumps but it means we can get into the standard height car park barriers if and when needed.

We have a T6.1 on Twin Adjust Project Sensitiv coilovers (Koni/Eibach) lowered 65/70mm on 255/45-18. Full camper conversion with an Austops pop top.
Total height is around 1.95m. Very convenient as it goes into virtually every car park, car wash (occasionally) but it's also low enough to use the fast lane 'Telepass' drive through ports on the French Péage toll motorways.

I wouldn’t trust those fast peage lanes, says 2m but definitely got scrapes on my old roof box when going through them in a car and definitely lower than 2m

Same goes for car parks here in the UK, they resurfaced a car park near here and I asked him if he was going to do anything about the height barrier now he raised the ground up by like 10cm and his response was nah it’s only to keep the pikeys out!

Good to know. Luckily we've had no issues during thousands of KMs through France so far.

Brilliant, thanks all.

I'm going to stick on some coilovers to around -50 to -60 and source a pop top that's under 70mm which shouldn't be too hard to do!

Just measured mine, although it doesnt have a poptop it has a flatdog roof rack. So actually this is as much use as a fart in a spacesuit.

Anyway if only for my memory mine is lowered about 50mm on 235/65/17 tyres. Measuring 1.98 on one side and 2.1 on the other side which has the ARB awning mounted to the rack.

Hi everyone,

I'm about to pull the trigger on a t6.1. I'm in a bit of a pickle regarding total height, I really need to keep the height under 2m due to access to my garage.

I'm going to get a pop top. With -45mm lowering springs and a low profile pop top and default tyres/alloys I should clear it.

The low profile options seem to be much more expensive but have the benefits of cosmetics/aero/wind noise. I've also read that pop top fitters over estimate the additional height for reasons such as liability.

Can anyone with a set up that's 2m or lower with a pop top let me know what pop top they have and if and if/how much they are lowered by and what wheel set up they have?

Thanks very much

Mine is actually 202cm, T6.1 on standard springs with a Reimo poptop and 18" wheels. Dropping it by 45mm will definitely get it under 2m.
