Also, the ratio of adjustment is 3:1 in the front and 5:1 in the back if I remember correctly.
means a 1mm adjustment in the hi-lo will result in a 3mm or 5mm ride height

Measure from the centre of the wheel to the lip of the wheel opening.

Thanks. Does anyone know where the measurement is taken? I can do the 3/4 part but what's correct for the front?

A basic rule of thumb is the rear should be 3/4" higher than the front, whatever it ends up at. Be aware that when you change ride height it also changes suspension settings so you will need to have an alignment afterwards.

I have acquired a 1996 Rover Mini Cooper which has, I discovered while adjusting the brakes, the adjustable hi-lo suspension. Curious, I measured the height from a flat garage floor to the seam under the door. Front and back, left and right, the measurements were not the same. Since I now know I can change it, I haven't been able to find out what the correct riding height should be and where to measure. I'm looking to have it "normal", nothing exotic.
