Suspension woes

More than a few people have commented recently about my ride height at the rear. I was dropping the car off at D-Technique tonight and decided to measure the drop again. According to Autoexe documentation, from center to top of wheel arch should measure 355mm at the front and 350mm at the rear. This is for a drop of 20mm all around.

This was what it measured when R-Magic fixed it for me last time with nearly a full tank of gas. That was around February I think. Today I had a full tank again. Front is close enough to 355, rear measures between 335 and 340. Yikes! Thats off by between 10 to 15mm on both sides. I asked D-Technique to raise it up again... Going to have to keep an eye on it again. It's like a bloody yoyo! Its hard to measure accurately as its hard to tell exactly where the center of the wheel is. But I'm definitely not off by that much.

I wonder how much it varies between a full tank of gas and an empty tank???

Getting the seat and harness put in for Fuji this Sunday! I'll get Roxy back Saturday.
