ride heights front & rear

[Bill Cutler]

I'm curious to know what sort of ride height most of you guys have settled on. My CSi sits exactly level when measured from the ground to the underneath of the sills - front and rear - but it looks like it needs a bit more rake.
From the ground to the wheel arch lip, I have 26" (660mm) at the front, and 24" (610mm) at the rear. My gut feeling is that it should be 1/4" higher at the rear, and possibly 1/4" lower at the front as well....

25 3/4" in front and 25 1/4" in the rear. ST lowering springs.

Suggestion

Wouldn't it make more sense to specify the vertical distance from the center of the axle (the center of the roundel on the wheel) to the wheel arch? That would eliminate all variations due to different wheels, tires and inflation pressures.

I guess it just depends on what you're used to.
I'm really just comparing front to rear, to get the right "look"..........

Hmmm. I'm more concerned about left to right than front to rear with my coupe - make sure you check all four:

FL - 25.625"
FR - 25.75"
RL - 24.625"
RR - 25.25"

It sounds like new springs are in order. Anyone have any good recommendations?
