Suspension height

[scott301004]

how high should the front be compared to the rear for normal road and everyday use?

Slightly higher?
slightly lower?
sitting level?

Any ideas please

Mine "WOZ" stanard hight :augie :naughty
It woz quite a bit lower on the front

In car terms...
A lower front will make it more responsive in cornering As the back will lean

Correct procedure is in the Nissan Workshop manual though.

The man is right - its expressed as a differential in height (about 1.5" I think) between the inner and outer ends of the front lower suspension wishbone.....

are the measurements imediate or is it worth taking it a spin to let it settle??

no you definitely need to let it settle and recheck it.......mine came up another 1-2 cms at least after I did it...drive it round the block a couple of times.
