W163 Ride Height

Does anyone have any measurements to use other than the angle of the a-arms? I have a 98 320 and would like to do a quick measurement to see if my ride height is correct. To me it looks like my front is too low. If the door sill or door trim is supposed to be level or close even that would help if a measurement isn't available. If not something measured front and rear on the body that isn't going to shift around or move ;-]

Tnx

Dave

Yes, the level of the rocker panel can be close enough to keep the front end at a correct angle.

Just to clarify, the rocker panel line should be horizontal? If I have that right then mine is way way out.

I asked this on another forum and had about 20 metoo's respond :-) So this will hellp a bunch of us. I found a PDF of the measurement off of the lower a-arms with an inclinometer but don't have access to mine right now as I just moved.

Cheers

Dave
