Could some with a tape measure and stick rx8 at there disposal please measure how far it is from the floor too the top of the front arch please. Inches, cm, mm, furlongs, leagues, which ever measurement is easiest for you is fine
much thanks

Cheers!!!! Thanks guys. I will get my tape and have a measure of mine, I'm not sure it's lower but sometimes when out and parked up it does look lower however I haven't done the rears just yet.
I must say though the front end is different, defiantly firmer etc.
Once the rear springs are on I will get it aligned as the fronts now look to be leaning out at the top of the wheel just a tad so I'm sure I will see a huge difference and feel it once aligned and all lowering springs on

Mine 673mm at front. Was expecting to be a lot lower, maybe it will drop more when the rears go on.
