Default ride height

hey i adjusted my struts, and it looks off.... i measured when i had the car on the lift over and over to see if its right, the measurements were correct but i dont think that works... so i went up 3/4 of an inch all the way around, but now i think the front higher up than the rear and i dont know how to check well where is the most accurate place to check? i checked at the pinch welds and they are even but just by looking at the car its not right, side to side is fine but rear to front is not, thanks guys

well best place to measure it at is right up the center of the wheel to the fender arche on each wheel.

but if you dont have adjustable coilovers than dont expect the ride to be the same on both sides. its like this on ALMOST every vehicle. they are not level from factory. they look fine until you lower it and make it really noticeable.


and if you want someone else to help ya measuring out there ride it might help if you post the year of car you got. looks like you have a ef or eg hard to tell from your sig picture.
