Default Ride Height question (ROW M030)
Car is at the shop getting ready for alignment but as I noted before taking it to them, it seems slighly higher at the front.

The only thing not “factory” up front are a set of Vorshlag camber plates.

Could these be the reason im sitting almost 3/4” higher up front?

rocker panel is level with the ground

Your fender gap looks considerably more even front to rear than mine...

Did it settle any after install?

Can't really say. It was installed by the previous owner, not me.

Here's my 030 with all suspension components completely stock. Dropped about 10mm and doesn't seem to have settled any more than that.

Talked to Vorshlag...

Apparently me tightening my loose control arm bolts in the air may have preloaded the bushings on those arms resulting in the deviation i'm seeing. Vorshlag confirmed that their strut mounts/ camber plates are equal to the OEM spec for height.

I've confirmed my theory... My Youtube degree in auto engineering/repair will only get me Internet street cred LOL
