they are 18, and its was taken to show the difference between bodyflex and suspension flex.

http://ewitt.smugmug.com/photos/i-Sz...-SznMrPB-L.jpg Suspension flex is highlighted here and this is when I took the photo in the first post to show how tucked it is.

I could cheat more and have used a jackstand forward of the rear axle, and then balasted the other corner of the car to keep that corner from lifting some and adding to the angle of the body.

Car is definitely not that stiff, mild failure of the door test where it still shut but definitely was out of alignment. Also the hood on the drivers side was out of alignment sitting up above the fenderline at the front corner. Compare that to say an old 1988 Subaru wagon where the doors open and close like nothings changed when you jack it up this way.
