Default X-Type ride height

I am unsure if my car had been modified before I bought it. Does this look like stock ride height to you guys?

Copied from another post:

Here is whats in the workshop manual.
Not sure if this is for the sport or the standard.
Ride height is measured from the centre of the wheel to the apex of the wheel arch, through the wheel centre line. (see doc)
Front 371mm +-15mm
Rear 370mm +- 15mm

Looks about right. Probably sitting a little lower than when brand new only due to age of the springs as they are no longer as stiff as they once were and therefore the spring is not as strong, resulting in a more compressed spring.

Looks about right. Unfortunately it is hard to tell from the photo by just eyeballing but Thermo hit it on the head.

Thanks guys. I am looking at really redoing suspension. I have a lot of clunk going on. I have redone the bottom front links in the rear, as the bushings were completely shot. That brought my camber in line so I am not wearing out my insides anymore.

I should get the adjustable top links, but my bushings were still solid on mine, so I held off on them.

nobody, this is my thought on the situation. If you redo the springs, then doing the uppers and making them adjustable will add minimal time to the overall job. If you are doing the uppers just to do the uppers, then hold off till you are either doing something else or you are replacing the springs.
