Measured from the ground to the fender lip (highest points):
Front = 59cm
Rear = 59cm
Tires are Toyo Proxes 205/50R15 and 225/50R15 (tires are important for the stance, sizes arent't everything!).

PS: fit smaller bumpstops. Stock bumpstops aren't meant to used when you setup the car pretty low. Then you will ride completely on the bumpstops (been there...).

Unfortunately not Wish I had though. Started documenting everything, and then got lost in the process...

Uh, that is low!

Until recently, I rode front 63cm, rear 62cm. And this felt like a Limit to my SC with 205/55, 225/50 16s.

A week ago I raised rear by 15mm.
It was Overall cool loking, though just not "the perfect stance" for all purposes (twisties and Autobahn).

the before-stance

Smaller tires make a difference
I decided it makes me happier while looking at it 99% of the time, than the 1% of the time it gives me headaches while driving. Did you participate in the 2018 Tunnelrun? The drive through the centre of Amsterdam was pure misery with all the bumps and LOADS of people. Whoever though that route was a great idea.... We were crawling at a speed of 2 km/h with 5 LOW cars Just waiting to get stuck. Didn't happen though.
I am thinking about a fueltank guard though. Haven't found anything decent yet, so will have to do a bit more DIY I think.

Hearing that, glad I misses this one, haha ;-)

easy to make up something to fix an the a-arms fixpoints I guess.
A 2.5mm steelplate could help knock off skidding the tank

I'll be honest the rears rubbed a bit when the tires were brand new but after shaving off 1-2mm I can drive the car at 10/10(well, my limit) without rubbing. As for specs, I'll let you guys guess as I'm sure I'll get flamed if I post it

Look like 15x8 all around? maybe 225/50/15?
That's a real great looking car, my friend. No need to worry about getting flamed.

15x8 front with camber, 15x9 rear with a 21mm spacer and minimal camber . Both front and rear fenders have been rolled as well

Edit:

Tires are 205 front and 225 rear Toyo R888R's.

WOW, can't believe it's just a 225 out back. I run the same tires on the same width 16" wheels but 225 in front and 245 out back.

I need a spacer in the back though. The fronts sit about like yours but the 9s look like they are hiding back there.

Looks awesome to me. Thanks for the specs!

I rolled my front fenders all the way flat, but have not done my rears yet. I have some 17x8/9 CCW Classics and the stock 16x6/7 Fuchs. I have some decisions to make with regards to rolling stock and your car and a few others make a compelling case for 15s over 16s or 17s.

How do you like the feel of the 245's? Personally, I'm going to throw my 205 fronts onto the rears and put 195's up front - the car has too much grip

Thanks and no problem! Yeah, 15's look great...I got inspiration from Rob Dickinson's 69' except I'm not brave enough to run that much camber
