I believe you will find that the amount of turns differ on the front and the rear, the distance from the shock mounting point to the wheel centerline is not the same. I think that the front is 8 turns to the inch whereas the rear is 6 turns.

I found another spanner tool today at a motorcycle parts store. It worked very well and pivots in the center for various size fits. Cost was $19

Great write up Tony, timely too. I'm going to drop the GTS a bit when my shoulder/neck is capable again.....
Thanks.
[edit] just noticed the dates of the OP so, still great write up but timely part is OSP for dredging it up again.....

I neat item I use to measure is a telescopic magnet (mine is 158 mm fully compressed). I put it under the car, extend the telescopic part until it touches the measuring pad, take it out and measure the length with a ruler.
