In response to Greg's above "reasonable ride height" , I just measured mine, LF 155.5 RF 162 LR 127 RR 127.
I'm going to have the suspension checked out on Thursday, should I try and adjust the ride height prior?
Out of curiosity, why is the rear measured from the edge of the arm and the front measured from the link bearing?
If so, I assume it would be much more accessable if I could drive it onto a rack?
Thank you

Assuming shock's and springs are original and collar/nut were set to factory height. Shock's and springs are weak?

Doubtful, one family had the car previously, no modifications aside from audio system,I'm 2nd owner. It looks like I have a bit more than half the threads left.

Springs...eh..maybe _some_ but most sag IMHO is upper rubber mounts that compress over time. I've seen fronts 3/8" shorter than new ones.
Do the front, go 7 rounds in the back, drive & settle it, then remeasure, see what's left.
