I need a favor

[dvmotorsports]

So my wife and I both have 318's. They are both lowered. What I need to know is what are the stock fender arch heights front and rear so that I may compensate for aiming the headlight as I just swapped both cars to smileys.

If anyone has this info or can break out a tape measure and check for us, we would greatly appreciate it.

Compensation doesnt work like that, unless you want to calculate the angle change of the car from the rake. Just find a flat wall somewhere, park 20 feet away. Measure from the ground to the headlights and then measure on the wall so that the flat part of the cutoff is 2-4 inches lower. Its easy enough to do by eye.

that method isn't nearly as accurate as a proper aiming system , but if you're gunna do it that way so be it just make sure that the parking lot is dead flat too

Yeah I know it doesn't work like that. That is why I wanted front and rear arch heights so that I can take the angle into consideration as well. I can't exactly recall what we did at the dealership when I was working there. I think it was 2'4" at 25ft. But like I said, i need to get heights to comp for the lowering because 2'4" would have the lights pointing upwards now.
