Yes. I knew about settling the front end and leaving the rear LCA mounts loose until it does.
I know where there are a couple 'speed humps' (bigger & smoother than 'bumps') that are good for settling the front end.

I fully plan on measuring on a regular basis until the numbers don't change.

But, as always, thanks for the advice.

NOTE you find the suspension will settle faster if you do 45 degree approaches to driveways in opposite directions ,
this will flex one side of the cars suspension further thus compressing it more,
as opposed to hitting a speed bump with both wheels at the same time.

I had my car start leaning to one side,
turns out I always drove it into the garage with the driver side front wheel hitting the driveway first at a 45 degree approach.
So then i went out and backed the car in so the passenger side tires hit first,
after a few cycles of this the car returned to a level stance.
