RT+ Front ride height.

I have a feeling that my front ride height is too low.
The lower 'bones are parallel with the floor but the lower edge of the nose is really low.

What sort of clearance should I have? Rescued attachment front.jpg

Looks about right, I haven't measured mine, but here's a picture. It looks about the same.
I have caught the bottom of mine a few times but not too many problems.

as you say a guide
( and I thin i am right - even after the sunday trip to the pub ) as a rule of thumb your front lower wisbones need to be parrelel to the floor so yup chocket jack her up and a few turns on the shocker platforms.

im sure Marc will correct me if i am wrong

from the photo looks like they are still need a little more.

to get it spot on will need a visit to some flat patches and corner weights.'

regards

I'm running 195/55/15" so you will sit lower than me by just under an inch approx. (if me maths is right) !!
It does look like you could come up a touch from your photo.

I'll have a measure with the car on flat ground, the area outside the garage slopes towards the door, so the rear of the car was higher than usual.
