Parallax  :-X
simple with long straight edge, take an average.  though an average might be difficult for a troll, it involves multiplication. 

or spirit level or laser spirit level. if you're too thick to take an average ::)

before some troll pops up again, obviously take the two readings for the average at equal distances from the centre of the car ::)

and (these apply however you measure the ride ::)) make sure the tyres are correctly inflated

and adjust for tyre wear, and make sure the surface is level if using a laser

etc...etc... ::) ::)

This is what I found under my spare car, seems in good shape all around but cant find any info on the actual springs with that number? Buy Steinmetz is a good thing right?
Shocks were some Sachs Super Touring ones.

That would explain the ride height ;)

Standard spring probably sits 25-30 higher... ATP Pollarth have just started a sale... Should be able to get stock height springs for a sensible cost ;)

These are from the spare car that sits higher than the one I drive and I will put these on the one I drive to get it a bit higher but not too much.

That is what I came up with aswell after some research.

These are the ones that were under my car, BTS Performance. The rear shocks are unbeliavably stiff compared to the Sachs ones, like REALLY stiff, makes you sweat trying to press them in between your hands.
And these front shocks had the top nut/bolt at the bottom end with adjustment, the other kit doesn't.

To my surprise, that Steinmetz kit from the other car is pretty much stock height now which isn't that bad afterall. Must be just stiffer springs and stock height or something.
