WALK
Tyre pressure 35 psi after a 20 minute normal journey (32.5 cold)
Tyre Pirelli P Zero 225/18 92Y XL MO

Rear

Ride height 324mm
Camber L -1 deg 37 mins, R -1 deg 30 mins
Toe L 6 mins, R 7 mins (toe in)
Bilstein PSS10 setting 4/10
Neuspeed 25mm full hard

How do you calculate the Ride height? Form where to where?

I also have the PSS10 with similar settings (just 1 click harder on the rear because I haven't got ARB) and I would like to compare if height is similar.

Sorry, the ride heights are from the wheel centre to the archlip, straight up. You will find small differences with wheel offset (as the wheel centre might be marginally more in or out affecting the length fractionally)

I put the start of the tape on the wheel centre, go straight up and where the tape hits the bottom of the arch take a measurement

Stock ride heights are 360mm ish. My measurements are currently 342mm F 326mm R

I have always read that back should be higher than front (just 10mm)... What do you think about?

[Carrera2RS]

I have tried a lot of options and did not find the Golf perfomed well nose down. It simply understeered more........

Plus the front geometry does not perform well too low. I did try the back at 330 and 335 and 350, it lost the balance. I would like to run the rear a little higher but as I move from the current heights the balance and grip is reduced for my set up and my handling preferences
