I don't, not an expert here. But isn't it only the front height that is higher, in order to aim the headlights higher?

Talking normal street spiders (not Volumex, not 124CSA/Abarths) the ride height did change from 73 to 74 by using different springs while introducing the new bumpers - by 20 mm upwards. Look at this:

Thanks for the information stefan. I also think the overall height increased again when the CS2 was introduced as the soft top height was increased about 20mm.
