    As you can see my 360 was very low to the ground 8cm all round to be precise. The car was a track car before I had her and now I have decided to do something with the height as its is a nightmare around town. Its now 12cm all round. once I am happy with the height I will take to my local Ferrari dealer and have the geometry sorted for the new height. I called in at a friends who has a standard car to measure it. I was amazed how different his is! Firstly his car is much higher than I expected a standard car to be and more importantly it was not level with the ground. He had 15mm at the front and 19mm and the back! my questions are : should the 360 be level with the ground like mine was originally yes/no? and next, does any one know what the standard height should be? If any one knows theirs or can measure theirs for me then that would be great!

    Here are the official ride heights for the 360, measured at chassis point, 125mm front and 147mm rear +/- 3.


    Here are the ride heights for the CS, 110mm front and 130mm rear at chassis point, +/- 3.


    Hope this helps.

    Hi Robert, thanks for the info. I had measured my car from the lower part of the outer skirt/ sills front and rear. From what you say I can see this is not correct now. Do you know where the measurement is to be taken exactly? I can see that the front chassis leg behind the wheel is about 10mm higher that the sill and at the back there is a circular jack point that looks to be about the same height as the chassis leg behind the rear wheel, is this were its taken from? I know its not rocket science but as I have all the shocks off and on, I might as well get it right, thanks mate.
