Trans Am 4mm over ride height front and rear
Mod foam touring 2mm front, 3mm rear

I measure at the end of the arms also when the car is on blocks.

My hard drive crashed so I'm still rebuilding everything. I'm hoping to have set up sheets by the end of the week or early next.

Marcos, are you using warmers on asphalt or just tire compound?
