That is the problem. At 580mm, my car is in spec. But the car should be at 610mm. Why it isn’t, is beyond me. Since the front has also dropped by 30mm, also reflected in the front alignment I figure that somehow the whole car is lower. WIS says that component condition must be considered. The 580mm rear ride height is after new spring and shocks were put in. With new components the ride height should be like new at 610mm. What could possible lead to a 30mm drop all around? The nominal factory spec for the rear camber is -1.1 +/- 0.25. At -2+ I am destroying tires. Before the new parts went in the right rear was at -2.8 unloaded. I traveled many loaded miles and you should see what that tire looks like. The car also handles poorly, most likely due to some combination of the alignment/ride height problem.
