Not unsatisfied, just posting for reference. Notice the 1/4" is higher on the right side, so when I sit my fat ass down oin the left side the 1/4" goes to 1/4"++++. That's why the joke about the UK tech.

It's not visually noticeable at all, only with a tape measure, and at least the front to rear rake is the same from side to side (1/4").

Car, as mentioned, looks from photos to be exactly the same as when I bought the car 30 months ago, but no measurements to verify.

Put the handling to a better test today (had to go BACK to the dealer for them to fix 2 fault codes that were the direct result of imperfect wrenching, but no biggies). Car handles extremely well at high speeds over the bumps and swells you find on government produced public toll road (yeah, I want these guys managing my health care - now spoiled by 2 weeks on the table flat Autobahns). Very composed, no bouncing, lots of absorption of the bumps, very flat in corners at all speeds. Lovin' it. Sorry Mickey D's.

In e-mailing another local owner, I began to wonder if the softer , more compliant ride that most have noticed was a result of softening the shocks. This makes sense to me as doing so would lower the "spike" pressure within the shock when you hit a bump, possibly extending the life of the seals. Anyone want to argue?
