Hi all. I am trying to find correct/common ride heights or at least differences between front and rear on my 90 740GL. Standard front and rear shocks.

Right now, I have one half inch lower in the rear than the front

Front: 25.75 inches
Rear: 25.25 inches

This is measured as shown in the FAQ at the high point of the fender to the ground on 185/65-15 tires.

Is this sagging? I have KYB Gas-a-justs on the rear with about 40k miles and the front struts are bone stock with 224k miles on them. I have new struts, but I'm trying to nail down the driveshaft issues before I put any more new parts into this car. It might fix it... but it might not. Please don't turn this into a driveshaft discussion - I already have 2 or 3 of those posted.

Cheers
Will
