yes, i made a tie bar measuring tool from a block of wood.

remove your tie rod then get a thin piece of wood, punch centre hole at 0, then 285 mm, take a drill same size ( ideally ever so slightly smaller) as inside diameter of M10 tie bar bush, drill at the centre punch marks, pop bolt from suspension into hole making sure its at 90 degrees to wood. Slide tie bar over, and adjust it till it just goes smoothly over the bolts , your ride height is then at 285 mm. Its a M10 x 1.5 thread so you can trim the tie bar in 1.5mm steps with 1 full turn of the end joint. record your changes each time you move it. I also did holes at 280 and 282.5mm just to try different settings

tie bar goes back in with left hand thread down ( the end with the little grooved ring round bar).
