I dont have my car in front of me but if I remember 20mm is close to bones level or slightly below level, so you can use that as your guide as well
Dont stress too much about being a mm off here or there on collars and ballcups, it is the actual vehicle measurement that counts.
If you are reading 20mm ride height on the calipers, reading the correct camber to the tires, toe up front etc etc... that is more important than the 1.7mm it says the collar should be spaced, or the 21mm it says should be visibile on a turnbuckle etc..
I refilled the shocks and put everything back together. Set the 4mm and it worked. The ride height is at 20mm. Used a marked toothpick too and the bones are pretty much level. As I put the under-tray back on the it protrudes about 1mm lower. Otherwise all is sweet now. Its still running slighly nose up, which I think is normal.
