Encyclopedia Hoonatica: Differing Ride Heights

enho-rideheights Last Wednesday’s Hooniverse Asks question about low cars vs. high cars caused me think about models that were available both as a low car and a high car. I want you to list cars that were simultaneously available in different versions that had significant and deliberate variations in ride height. This entry is NOT about cars whose ride height changed only slightly, or over multiple years of production, because that list could go on forever. Let’s also skip different heights of 2WD/4WD pickup versions, because they’re pretty predictable and obvious (and frankly, a list of them all would be rather uninteresting). On the other hand, feel free to vigorously debate whether the US and foreign market rubber-bumper MGBs constitute two discrete models, and whether the US version’s 1-inch lift was “significant” or “deliberate.” DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Fair to partly cloudy.
