Incidentally, the picture with the tape is slightly deceiving. It measures about 3.5 inches in actuality.

Hmmm. Well, I am going to have to disagree here.
The following specification was followed to set my ride height:

Front axle height = 118mm to 108mm measured from road surface to lower edge of hexagon-head bolt (a/f 18) of the tension-strut screw connection to the body.

Rear axle height = 133mm to 143mm measured from the wheel contact surface to the locating bore in the rear-axle side section (between toae and camber eccentrics).

Incidentally, the USA turbo is 158mm +/-10 for these measurements in the front and rear. That means the USA turbo can be as high as 168mm or as low as 148mm.

My alignment settings are dead nuts accurate to the GT2 spec with a minute amount of additional toe added for super-high-speed stability (this was a result of my forensic engineering trying to locate the source of my suspension malady a short time ago).

The GT2 spec has more front toe differential at 20 degree steering lock and more camber front and rear.
All of those numbers are actually , because to eye that car is not sitting at GT2 spec, line up nose to nose with any other GT2 in the U.S. set at factory GT2 spec and maybe you will see the difference.

Yes I have seen it in the pics and especially the pic provided by you with the tape measure which is all I need to see and the point here that your Turbo's front GT2 bumper is not at GT2 height spec to the ground, my point to Doug was that it wasnt accurate and that he should not go by it as its misleading.
