Morning!

I have just slammed my car down on some AP coilovers and im interested as to how far down it is!!

Would someone be kind enough to measure the distance from the wheel arch to the floor for me (front and rear)

Many many thanks!!

can you measure from where:

the rear bumper joins the rear arch (on the corner)
the front bumper joins the front arch (again on the corner)

this gives a nice and easy datum to measure from :)
