That's the point, if you get a ticket for ride hight all you have to do is have a picture of your car w/ a ruler and your license plate w/ the bumper cover off showing 14 inches from the middle of the bumper (aka bumper beam) to the ground. My 240 is pretty freaking low, but it is legal ride hight ....but illegal because it is modified suspension .
