Default AU Suspension Ride Height

I'm running King SL's

Measurments taken from centre of wheel to guard.

Fronts: 335mm
Rears: 320mm

Looks good but i'm getting sick of the rear.
It's been a bit of a constant problem, tyres fouling guards, barely any enough exhaust clearance and bottoming out over bumps with passengers in the back.

Springs have been in for about 7 years, the back may have sagged a touch with the gas tank, but I don't have previous measurments for comparison.

Would be great if people could post up measurements for different springs eg. xr, king sl & ssl.

Keen also to know this
think 337mm is the perfect height for these cars for drive-ability

50mm king springs should be perfect
