Bottom of the chassis to the ground- i.e. how high does the car ride? ride height.
The ground !!!! lol
What I meant was,do I measure the front ride height from the front end of chassis or from side panel next to wishbone,I get a reading of 110mm next to
wishbone and 90mm from front of chassis below nosecone !!!

As a matter of interest what is the rear at present to have 20mm difference at hte front over such a short distance?
Well I measured the rear from the side panel next to panrod arm and I get 130mm there,My point is I do not know if I'm setting height up from the
correct position.
Wouldn't mind a closer look at her ab to see for myself !!!
Ride heights are normally measured from the underside of the car to the ground at a point where the front or rear axle lateral centre line is. Also the rear should IMHO be an inch or so higher than the front so that it creates a vacuum effect on air going under it. If it was higher at the front and lower at the rear then the air pressure underneath would increase as it went back through the car creating a lift effect.
