Default How much has it been lowered?

Good afternoon all!

I'm not quite sure how much my car has been actually lowered by...

It's a 96 classic with 17's and 215/45/17 tyres on......

Does anyone know what the normal ride height should be with these wheels and how I work out the 'mm' amount it's been lowered by?

Cheers

Measure the wheel arch height from the centre of the wheel/hub vertically up to the wheel arch. The manual gives the original values as f:371 r:363 with a tolerance of +12 -24mm.
