Out of curiosity only, what do you consider 'accurate ride height'? I'm guessing there is some variation depending on how each car was equipped. Yes I know A/C cars received different springs but how much weight difference would there be in a heavily equipped car vs. a bare-bones version?
FWIW, I just measured my car. Something I found somewhat surprised me, and yet it's understandable. (I recently replaced the upper control arm bushings on the passenger side.) Measured at the axle, floor to bottom of the Wheel Opening Moulding, sitting on stock 50 year old springs and shocks, and on Repro F70-14 tires at 32 psi, here's what I found:
LF: 26 3/8"
LR: 25 1/4"


RF: 26 5/8"
RR: 25 1/2"


Just wondering how this compares.
