Default Anyone measured the height after Stranos/Konis??

I was wondering if anyone has done it and has measurements. I want to see if my car is sitting right pretty much.

I feel like the front is a little high and the passenger rear side is higher than the driver rear side.


thanks

Yeah, I've been trying to fix this... the front for me is fine, but I bought used so they were broken in.

Numbers are in inches:

Well I know DeCarbons are crap and I know they go bad fast so a bad shock might be "looser" than other is the conpression inside the shock is not the same as new. I know its not gonna be much of a difference but it might be 1/2 or maybe 3/4 of an inch

Is the end of the pigtail on the right rear spring pointing straight forward, or rearward ?
It should set the lowest with it pointing straight forward.
