Hi Lovely .org people... I'd like a difinitive answer on where to measure ride height. Yes I have used the search and no abiguity around measuring the front but 2 answers for the rear! It seems the most consistent way, is to use the jacking points on the chassis as clearly, it doesn't move... Can imaging the tray is hit and miss depending on how tight it is, whether it is damped with foam etc., etc., etc. If I measure from the middle jacking point, and want to achieve 10mm difference between front and rear, do you have to make some adjustment/apply some factor to a measurement from the middle jacking point to make it accurate or is this fine as is? Thanks for your input. Regards Alex.

One assumes it's the standard jacking point picture with A & B being the front and "middle" jacking points? I take it no adjustment needs to be made to measurements when taken from the middle jacking point?... as 10mm from the middle would natually be more, the further towards the rear or the car that you measure it from! Cheers for your input... :)

Leading edge of side chassis rail for the front and trailing edge of it for the rear.
