Default x300 ride height

Hi,
Does anyone know the ride height front and rear for my 1997 X300 XJR6?
Regards

It is normally found in the specifications part of the vehicle care booklet.

The measurement is from the center of the respective hub to the center
of the wheel arch.

That eliminates the influence of varying tire diameter fitments and
reveals any spring sag immediately.

Thanks Plums,
I live in South Africa and the XJR6 is a very rare beast. Nobody I know nor the agents has such a booklet. If anyone has would they let me have the specs.

Look in the stickies at the top of the model section. A download
may have been posted there.

It's been some time .....but the only ride height spec I recall in the X300 manuals was in the wheel alignment section and was 150-155mm clearance from the bottom of the subframe to the ground....front and/or rear.

The only reason I recall it is because of the rather amusing text. The spec for several build configurations was given (all within the 150-155mm range as I recall) with a bit of a finger-wag that you must ensure the car sits at the specified height before alignment. Then, in the very next breath, we're told that if an ** XJR ** is not within the listed specifications, no worries.....just go ahead and perform the alignment at whatever height the car is presently resting at!

There may well be other specs in the manual which make more sense but I might've missed 'em....or forgotten

Cheers
