Ride height

What sort of ride height is everyone using?
My front height is 145mm and the rear is set at 170mm, does this sound O.K. My concern is that my front upper wishbones are not pointing skywards instead they are just about parallel with the road(hope that made sense!)

what car is it and where are you measuring the ride height from and what wheel/tyre size etc?

If you're measuring from the front and back of the chassis to the ground then your measurements are roughly the same as mine.

However, as nick205 has suggested, the size of your wheels and tyres affect the way your wishbones come to rest!

Thanks guys, wheel size is 15" running 195/50/15
Series 3 replica.
I am measuring at the crossmember just in front of the front of the engine and at the rear cross member just behind the rear wheels - sump clearance - 95mm - sound OK?

Cheers
