Jack the car up at the middle measurement point and repeat all 3 measurements.
The changes in the front and rear points relative to the center will show how much chassis flex these cars really have.

Fair point, but we're talking about a car designed around 15 years ago. Besides, it would still be stiffer than the convertible version, which is all i was saying
