I'm very busy now adjusting my new coilovers from AST.
What's the ride height on your car's, measured from the centre of the wheel to the arch/fender, front and rear in cm's
Standard it's 36 front, 33 rear.

Cheers,

Are you sure that's right ?
Mine was lowered by the previous owner (in Japan) and is 30cm front and rear. So why the difference front to rear in your case ?
If that's a stupid question I apologise in advance.

I've got those standard numbers from me dealer.
I measured mine now and it is 35 front and rear (coilovers), anything lower and it will handle like "all but a scooby, :d"

Well this is my second Scoob - I sold the first in case you wondered and combined with stiffer rear anti-roll bar( Whiteline) and roll bar links(Powerflex) with the adjustable shocks this handles tighter than the first one - i.e. less understeer which is good and a better point and "shoot" feel. I may yet raise the car because with the ride height I do worry about traffic "calming" measures etc. But the handling is fine but then what do dealers know !! See the pages of the MRT book on the standard handling.
