My 4WD E55: Am I higher than stock?
I just got my car back from the dealer after raising the car's height via STAR and it looks like a just truck now.

I've had it lowered via STAR for a while, but have had clearance problems. Maybe I'm just not used to stock height, but I'm wondering if I am now higher than stock.

Following are the heights from the center edge of each fender to the ground:

Front left: 26"
Front right: 26 6/16"

Rear left: 25 13/16"
Rear right: 26 6/16"

Are these heights within factory specs?

Can anyone help me with some OEM heights please?

Thanks

I have a bunch of posts from a bit ago regarding ride height. Do a search as I dont have the figures anymore and I honestly forgot.

I did all my measurements from the center of the wheel ( the center of the MB start) because that takes the size of the tires out of the equation. The center of the hub is always the center of the hub!

Sorry I forgot the specs. I think the front is about 24 inches and the rear is about 23? Thats just a guess but i now my old posts have it.
