Zhp ride height

Ok I just replaced both my front struts and lower control arm with bushing from oembimmerparts AND I also replaced my front tires. Now my front ride height seems too high. I was wondering if anybody knows the specs on the front ride height?

The base of the strut fits into a knuckle. There is a tab/pin on the strut that has to slip into a slot on the knuckle. This is a common mistake, it has to fit all the way down.



At the bottom of the photo is the knuckle, and the slot, and the bolt that squeezes the knuckle on the strut to hold it together.

These photos are from a thread on my coil over suspension install from years ago:

Chances are that as your suspension sagged, you became accustomed to the look. Now that you have new suspension components, the original ride height was restored and will sit higher until it settles again.

he didn't change his springs so his ride height won't b affected.
most probably it's a fitting issue as jvr and smolck said
