Just a reminder, when setting up ride height, or doing 4 wheel alignment, or any suspension adjustments for that matter, don't forget to undo the sway bars so there is no load on them. Then, when all is set, lengthen or shorten the swaybar endlinks accordingly so they sit without load. Otherwise, all your adjustments will be for naught and could even result in some strange behavior during spirited driving in the twisties.

It is also best to measure the ride height from the fender lip, through the center hub, to the bottom rim lip; not the ground. It's more consistent, and the recommended optimum measurement is 23.5" for 17" rims..
