Default Re: Bottoming out woes

I measured mine with a basic flexible ruler. On flat cement, the lowest point of the the front end sits at right around 4.2 inches (10.7 centimeters). Is this too low, or about right. If it were too high, I'll cry.

Default I think you're a little lower than mine...

I measured about 4 5/8, but there a small amount of deformity in the lower lip (I guess the previous owner must have gotten a little too close to one of those parking space barriers). In the interest of establishing an easier norm, I measured the distance from the ground to the lower edge of the wheel opening at the center of the wheel hub (1/2 full gas tank, stock Avus wheels, stock tire size, standard springs and shocks). RF = 27 1/2; LF = 27 5/8; RR = 27; LR = 27.
