Rich has it right for front height.
Only one addition. Your rear trailing arms should be as close to level as you can get them. You do not want the hub to be higher off the ground than the pivit point at the forward end of the trailing arm. This can be measured with the car on the ground. Then get it four wheel aligned, (toe, camber and caster in the front, and toe and camber in the rear) and corner balanced with you setting in the drivers seat. You can only achieve good corner balance with adjustable height spring perches in the rear. |
