I don't understand exactly where to check the ride height. Is it under the whishbone support?

I mean at the front. And at rear, with ProTech shocks at the higher level, I'm at 155mm.

Anyone?
As I read the manual, I understand it is the blue arrow, but I'm wondering if it could be the yellow arrow.

And as, I said, I have problem with rear Protech Shocks. They are are the higher setting, and it's not enought...

I always thought you measured the distance from the center of the wheel to the body of the car (wheel arch).

Hi Ted,

From the manual, it appears that it would be the yellow arrow on your picture (Dimension Y from the picture)....

Ted,

Your English i appears to be better than mine - I didn't read it properly :oops:

Yes, it will be dimension X, so the BLUE arrow in your photograph.

Thanks.
For the front it's ok, but at the rear, I can have more than 150mm with damper at the higher level. Is it the correct place (red arrow) ?
