Stephen, the Bentley manual has a page with height measurements for each suspension setup that might be helpful. It's page 300-21...if you don't have the Bentley manual, let me know and I'll try to scan it and email it to you.

Ok thanks. I think my dad has one.

My dad's ZSP is a good half inch lower than my car. Just about every ZSP seems to be lower than my car.

This is a 17x8.5" with a 245/40/17 tire. Quite a bit more gap in there than the ZSPs I see with OEM style 68s.

Thoughts?

Double check that the strut, part #1 is fully inserted into the kingpin, part #2 until it can't go any further, there will be some sort of physical stop. Kind of a long shot but worth checking.

My dad looked. Said there's no mention of zhp ride height.

I believe mine had a red stripe, but not 100% sure. Jack your car up and wipe the dust off your springs, what color is your stripe?

Talk to me about the E46 steering rack. How easy to go bad? Symptoms? Fixes?
