I'm curious about what was intended by the factory.
It was my understanding that the US ride height is a result of the US bumper height requirements and that the factory actually intended the car to be lower; a la the ROW height.
Anyone know what was actually intended, and why?

I think as I will be fitting KW variant suspension that I believe has solid mounts and new wishbones with poly bushes it will be worth corner weighting.
Thanks for all the advice, knew I could rely on you guys!

The DOT and NHTSA have reams of documentation on the requirements that manufacturers must meet if their cars are to be sold in the USA. Bumper height requirements (for pedestrians), headlight height requirements and bumper impact absorption requirements are a very tiny part of them.
