My car sits a goodly amount higher if just plopped down from a jack versus having rolled to a stop.

Looks pretty dang high to me.

 

Thanks. Guess I won’t tighten them up until I’ve driven it around the block. Might need the spring to seat or something silly. I once rebuilt an MG suspension. It looked ridiculously high. Drove across one pothole in the driveway and Boiiiiiinnngg it was good.

 

I guess this is the only photo I have of my car side-on with the 20-spokes on. The lower door shutline intersects just above the axle centerline. The rear is too low here, IMO, as there's a slight negative rake. I've since added 6mm* packers, new foam donuts, and lower spring isolators, bringing the rear up about an inch.

* The car came with a 6mm packer in each upper rear spring pan. Each side now has two.

 

There was reference line dimensions information in a doc I ran across some years back

This was in body working section and frame trueing up

Looking

This would be dependent on factory tire size and factory springs

 

See section A4 beginning on page 24 of the upcoming document below

 

Nothing in suspension section 11 starting on page 10

 

Thank you for looking for ride height info!

Progress slowed slightly today when I found standard size fitting on driver side brake pipe and metric on the other! Fedhill.com to rescue again, it should all be M-10 1.0 all around. They’d just smashed it down on a metric hose. Jam nut was standard too…. And pretty well jammed… just on drivers side. Weird.
