Disco 200 ride height

Hi does anyone know the correct measurement fom wheel centre to underside of
wheel arch for front and rear of dicovery one V8. I suspect front springs
are shagged it spends lots of time bottoming when hitting bump at speed (on
road that is)
Thanks

I could measure my Disco 1 as I've just replaced the springs but it's a
diesel not a V8...

and I could measure mine, but mine, although a V8, has HD RR diesel springs
on the front, which give it about an inch of lift, I think.

back has HD 90 rears and 1" spacers on the axles.

overall, this produces some pretty sound on-road handling. I suspect it's
slightly compromised off-road by being a bit stiff, but you can't have
everything.
