Is this a normal ride height after a cornerbalancing?
I just had my 1980SC lowered, cornerbalanced and aligned. The measurements from the tops of the fenders are below. It's a bit off from the 25.5 and 25" that I always hear about, but I'm curious if it sounds right because of the corner balancing. BTW, the intended use of this car is for weekend, autocross and track use. (About four DE events a year)
LF 25.50" (585 lbs) RF 25.75" (625 lbs) LR 25.25" (915 lbs) RR 25.50" (875 lbs) I had 1/2 to 3/4 of a tank of fuel and 160lbs in the drivers seat. (The spare tire was also left in the car) The camber (in degrees) is as follows if anyone cares: LF -.60 RF -.84 LR -1.93 RR -1.76 Thanks, Noel |

That's about what I got after I did mine at home.
Actually, my drivers side both f&r were 1/4" lower than the right side. Then I did it again, and got cross-corners off a 1/4" I hear, as long as the weights come up good, then all should be well. Do you have adjustable sway bars? Is this with them disconnected?

I have stock swaybars and this measurement is done with them connected about 1 week after the job was done. I was just curious about how close it was the the official "Euro" height.

Dont worry about the small variations in ride hieght measured at the fenders, what really matters is the corner weights.
Each chassis is a little different, measuring at the fenders just give you an Idea if you close to the proper ride height
