I was just going to ask the same question for my Elite Saloon. Noticed it looked a bit high last night. When I am parked on level ground I will measure it and post up the figures.

I was plannign to measure both sides from the ground to the top of the wheelarch, and also from the top of the tyre to the top of the wheelarch.

Mine seems to sit a touch lopsided as well, is there any height adjustment ?

Feb 2011 at 11:51 thanks guys - awaiting with interest I'm retro-fitting self-levelling to an estate and want to know what it should be so I can confirm it's right. measurement to wheelarch would also suffice.
