That's a great thought Ed - someone did exactly that (David Bruckman?) for the 123 wagons, I need a similar savior for my 124 wagon...

If so, maybe they can take a measurement of a fixed point on the underside, to give you a baseline of what your car's ride height should be? Just a thought I'm throwing out there. I'm sitting on the side lines, reading and taking all this in and learning what I can. I figure soon or later, I'll need to do all this too if I keep the car long enough.
