Thanks SS93b,

I did some looking around this morning and found some TSB's in pdf format that describe the method and list the various values for proper height. I will measure the car again when I can get it parked on some flat ground, but it looks like the rear is low, more so the left side.

BTW, your description isn't quite right, according to what I read. The values to be averaged are 2 measurements at each wheel: Measurement 1- prep the car by pushing down on the bumper and release, then measure the distance. Measurement 2- lift up on the bumper and release, then measure again. Your method would give you a value of roughly around 310mm. I'm assuming you "mispoke" as I've seen quite a few of your posts related to the suspension, but I didn't want anyone else following this thread to get confused. Do you know what can impact the front caster?

I downloaded WIS once upon a time but didn't have the proper software to view it so I deleted it. I don't remember what file format it was. I'll have to look into that again.

I was able to gather based on searching the board that the camber changes as the suspension lowers. Now I need to figure out what I want to do long-term as I was planning on moving to an Aero or equivalent suspension next year, but not at the expense of tire wear. 2 things I hate about the 9-5 are the vague steering and excessive body roll, although the general ride of the suspension is nice.
