I need to get one and dial everything in so you won’t give me anymore 💩 about my ride height Johnny! 😂

Looks better then a batch of measuring sticks. I think I would need one that goes from 135-185 mm.

Great solution! I have been using a Bosch laser measuring tool from HD which is nice.

Slight modification:
Shortened probe and added calibration screw.
Now my scale is off by 5 mm but they are just glued on so hopefully I can pop them off and apply corrected ones.

We use a straight edge and a tape measure in the air, on the alignment rack.
When we measure one, on the ground, we have a couple of machined block of aluminum, with a bolts in them, which we measure with a pair of calipers.

But I'd gladly buy one of these, to support the people who take the time (like I do) to improve our 928's.

I love the ingenuity, when people create something unique!
I hate it when people copy existing things that someone else has taken the time to create!

Turns out my car is too low for the original gauge so I did some redesign to lower the range and also gave it some other enhancements.
Now to put it to use to get a baseline on what my heights are now before I start investigating what rubber bits need replacing.

No worries. Merry Christmas!

If anyone is using Simplify3D, I can supply "factory" files and then you'll have my print settings as well.
