PS. That said, I was asking about my 411 S5. Perhaps it was measured differently on the earlier V8 cars?
Yes, I remember you were told that. I think they must have shifted the reference point from the crossmember to the silencers in the 411 S1 brochure they published.

Just an update a few years and much effort later..............

I rebuilt the front end last year but the rear driver side was still low. Today I did adjust the torsion bar to the right hand rear axle and the car now sits level and has approx 6.75" ground clearance under the front cross member.
