Default Measuring my ride height???

Well my suspensions all out of whack... one sides a good 1/4" higher than the other side...

I'm putting it up on the lift tomorrow to get it straightened out... I'm wondering once I pop off the wheels where can I measure to set both sides the same?

from the center of the rotor to the top of the springs? what position is gonna be the same on both sides once i adjust my coilovers?

thanks!

I usually count the number of threads showing under the spring on the sleeve.

It would be hard to measure the ride height when the car is on a lift. Keep the car on the ground, measure the rim to fender distance on all four wheels, then make the necessary adjustments. Thats what I do
