OEM CSL height suspension setting

[MQP]

Hello,

who can tell me the ~height (Front/Rear) of the oem CSL suspension? I had forgotten to measure before I replaced with KW CS.

thanks.

It would be hard to get an oem height as most of OEM shock users are on their original shocks which are at least 11 years old hence could have dropped a little. Unless someone replaced all four shocks and spring recently.

why would old shocks make it sit low, surely it sits on the springs :smokin:

Its just something I always experienced. Springs stretch down ever slightly over years. When I first bought my E30 M3, it had stock shock and springs and I went for brand new OEM setup and the car simply lifted up as If I took out lowering springs and went with oem. Witnessed with others friend's cars as well. I am talking about min 10-15 year old suspension btw.

Thanks guys, my shocks (rear) were already totally worn out + very rosty - your weather kills every car :)
