Anyone have a measurement for stock ride height? Fender to ground as posted above? Searched a dozen times and cannot find this information. Somebody must have checked it before installing their coils!

Just curios, Why you need the measurement? Also, how low is your car right now? Do you have any camber kit on it, coilover or lowering springs? You just need to take out whatever you have on it and re install the OEM shocks struts suspensions with the OEM rims and that it. You are done.

Front : 27 1/2"

Rear : 28 1/2"

Thanks! I am asking because I did not measure before installing the coil overs, and need to raise my ride height (while I am corner balancing the car). I want to set it lower than stock, but not much lower at all (1"). I do not have camber plates, but will be maximizing the stock adjustment.
