yeah, i just got unlucky i guess

agreed, i wasnt singling out a certain brand shop, just most big brand shops don't have specialty mechanics, like the ones who would know what a coilover is.

My car is:
571mm (22.5") FR
584mm (23.0") RR

FSM spec (OEM ride height) is:
694mm (27.32") FR
670mm (26.38") RR

This is ground to fender, like how it's done in the FSM.

that's because they measure from ground to the highest part of the fender opening, and if you look at pretty much all the cars on the road, the front fender opening is always higher than the rear.

i'm surprised you don't scrape anything. I can't even ride over speed bumps normally. I have to ride it sideways... Unless my measurements are wrong.
