For the front, on my car with 1" drop spindles, it placed the front body line at roughly 24 1/4" to the ground. I built a 1" rake into the car so the back body line is at 25 1//4". But if I were you I would call them as they may have changed things up a little and using my body line measurements would not be very accurate.

Thanks David. In the instructions for the front they only indicate setting ride height at about 50%-60% of suspension travel. I'm trying to get my camber set close to -0.5 at ride height to see what mods I need to do to both inner/outer fenders. As we haven't finished the body work and paint on the fenders they are not currently on the car so I was hoping I'd at least be able to get an idea where to measure other than fender line. Maybe I'll set on ground at full height, measure and then do same at lowest height to get an approximate height to shoot for around 50%. I should then at least be able to see how much work to inner fender I need to do and whether I need to roll outer only, or possible do slight trimming.
You mentioned you went with -1.5 camber, +6 caster, and I think +1/8 toe and it was recommended by Rod. How is your tire wear with that setup? It seems that would be more for autocross rather than street. Any thoughts or changes you are considering?
thanks, Jake
