Thanks for your response, however, the reason I was after the hub centre to top of the wheelarch dimension is that the csr is on sxle stands and I am wanting to put the suspension into a position that is fairly close to static ride height when it's on it's wheels, prior to torqueing up the wishbones, so as to avoid preloading the suspension bushes.

Thanks again,

Ged

Wishbones level is the best approximation, chassis should only be torqued up when under load (in case that's not what you were trying to say).

Try 2 fingers in between the tyre and arch at the rear and 1 at the front.

This can be finely adjusted later.
