Default How high is the highest point of your front fender lip from the ground?

When I measure from the ground to the edge of the fender over the right front tire it is 27 inches and on the driver's side front it is just under 26.5 inches. Car is salvage so I want to see what stock should be. I put stock suspension on today and realized that's why one of the Eibach springs was heated to make it even.

Someone asked this exact question back in 2010 and I just found the thread. F Sport is lower so that makes sense. I wish I had found someone with the F Sport springs. The Eibach were nice but maybe half inch too low. I drive clients so it looked just a lil too sporty.
Front driver side - 26 7/16"
Front passenger side - 26 5/8"

Rear driver side - 26 5/8"
Rear passenger side - 26 3/4"

No reason for DS and PS to be different, to be honest That is weird.

I read a thread where someone noticed a slight difference and many people chimed in saying the same thing. It was like 3/8 of an inch or less. The dealer told one guy that this is within tolerances. For me I'm sure it's whatever front end accident the car was in altered things by another quarter inch so now I'm off by 3/5".

Are you RWD or AWD?

My '06 IS350 with sport pkg was sitting at 26.5" all around until I dropped it on BCRs. Hopefully that helps.
