Do green dots in photo show ride height reference points? Another set on other side of car.

Yes, specifically it's the green dot on the top of the photo, not the one toward the bottom.

More info here.

Thanks for information.

I’m going to be purchasing new tires and have car suspension alignment but I first wanted to check ride height using factory reference points. I have set of factory work shop manuals so I have as fair amount of data.

I have H&R coilovers.

Also wanted to check ride height by measuring from fender lips to floor too.


First measured lips to floor in inches:

left front—25 1/2”
right front—25 1/2”

left rear—25 1/2”
right rear—24 7/8”

Measurements from factory reference points:

left front—130.3 mm
right front—132.4 mm

left rear—112 mm
right rear—113 mm

Car measured level with level on sill.

Is it more accurate to measure ride height using reference points on the chassis?
