FRONT
N/S = 300mm
O/S = 295mm
BACK
N/S = 335mm
O/S = 320mm

I might try go for uprated stock length springs as the stock ride height isnt too bad.... that or find some -40mm uprated. Does anybody know the rating on stock springs? 200lb or 180lb etc? Does anybody have a new set of springs that could be borrowed for testing purposes?

Phew thats a relief on car differs from one side to the other on the one with new suspension, and the older suspension differs from front ot back. I'll post the full numbers tomorrow.

Apart from Panel difference from one side to another anything which could cause the difference?

level ground would be the major difference.... tyre pressures dont really come into play because your measuring from centre of wheel to a certain point.

Derek, (on the quattroforum, not sure if he's here) did a huge amount with his Clarion CQ suspension including poundage etc....
