Help me set ride height
I just installed Pfadt bolts as the ones in the car needed replacement. The ride height had been adjusted previously so I had no stock measurements to base the set up on. I'm aware of the Z and D height measurements, but I don't have the tool or any other easy way of measuring at those points. I'm looking for a good starting point for ride height based on a measurement at the spring adjuster, if possible.

Best I can give you as a reference point is parked on a level surface with newer tires at 30psi cold, I measured from the ground to the front and rear jacking points. My measurements (stock height) were 4 15/16" front and 5 1/8" rear.

I always like to measure from the bottom of the wheel lip, to the bottom of the fender. Its a quick, easy and accurate measurement to make.
After you adjust the ride height at all, make sure to swing it around the block and load the car up going left and right to get it to settle, before making measurements on level ground.

Can anyone measure from the bottom of the bolt pad touching the A Arm to the underside of the spring? I need to get a basic idea of where the bolts need to be to start off with.
