I've searched the forum and looked at the W123 wheel pics and I can't decide if my car is abnormally high, or just looks that way to me. Some of the pics in the 123 wheels thread have a similarly large fender gap, but according to the specs, my car is more than 1.5 inches too high. My pics lack some perspective and appear even worse than it looks with the whole car in view.

I've got the stock "short" spring for the coupe with the red bottom coil. Everything else is as stock as can be. Goodyear 195/70-14's on Bundt's. 16.5 inches from wheel center to fender lip, 31.75 at hood and fender.
The FSM says to "Check level at front axle 40-300" Does anyone have the portion of the FSM that includes chapter 40 above job # 113? Mine stops at 113.

What am I missing to get the car back to it's stock height? My last best-guess effort will be to loosen the UCA, LCA and torsion bar bolts and see if it'll settle. I did that when I installed them thought, so I don't have much hope that will do much.

I still haven't got it aligned and I'd like to get the height sorted out before alignment. If I can't sort it myself, I plan on leaving it to the dealer.
