True, it appears the bushings are in tact but worn for sure. For some reason the points I used to measure the front didn't jive with the appearance of the car. So I found a spot just back from the front cross bar where the hex bolt holds the front sway bar bushings. That plate is where I checked the height and seems to jive with the level at the front of the car. The bolts at the rear outer spring plates seems to be OK for the rear. This is just a good estimate and may only work on my car but should be good enough for now (within 3mm of each side). I also loaded the drivers seat with equal weight to myself when I checked and adjusted the front right torsion bar adjustment. That corner was saging and until I could get a process for checking the height I wasn't going to know if I would have to mess with the rear torsion bars. The height and appearance seems to be pretty good all around. A corner balance would be best but I'm going to wait for new bushings. Just need to recheck the alignment all the way around. I think adjustable spring plates would be nice for down the road to change the weight transfer and for corner balance.
