BRZ lowered 25mm = 51"


Mercedes Stock heights
Amg = 50"
SLC = 51"
SL = 51"


Porsche
718 = 50"
911 = 51"


Lotus = 45"


Jag F Type = 51"


Fiat 124 = 48"


The list is not even nearly complete but clearly shows that 51" should not be considered abnormally low.


Thanks for the heads-up, much appreciated.
I indeed discussed this point with my lawyer, but he says that this point is absolutely irrelevant, as long as the car is fully road-legal (which it is, I have this certified).


Nonetheless it may be that I will get something line 1/3 fault quota, simply because I can not 100% prove that I was not at fault - sadly, dashcams are illegal here, otherwise there would not be the shadow of a doubt...



The thing that depresses me most is, that I can not start the repairs yet.
