Default HELP**** I need the stock ride height measurement

Can someone find out what the car measures from inner center bore to fender. mine is lowered and i need to make some adjustments from what the stock measures. If someone could go outside and get the measurements for the Front and rear. Thats center bore to the lip of the fender. THANKS...I went to my local dealer but they have NO IS-F's on the lot. Thanks

too bad I can't help you...my f is sitting right outside my door & I happen to have a tape measure in my trunk BUT since you hate visual performance i'm the wrong person to ask cause i'm all for visual performance Karma is a funny thing.

Couldn't you get that on the lexus website? I haven't looked through but check it out.

No because Lexus doesn't specify ride height this way. For good reason. It's horribly inaccurate. Fenders can vary a LOT depending on exactly where they end up in the production process.

The ride height specs are already posted here. Those are the only numbers worth considering. If you look at the spec, you'll see you really only need to measure the B and D heights. A and C will be correct as long as you have adequate air pressure in the tires. However, if you've changed tires, you'll need to make all four measurements. Once you've measured A and C once, then you can just measure B and D for changes. If you are concerned about mechanical performance, this is the only way to measure.

Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I post here.

I read the pdf on how to measure the stock height from the wheel center to the lower arm.

But can someone with stock ISF suspension & wheels & tire size (with proper tire pressure) kindly measure the front & rear heights from the ground to the underside of the side skirt closest to the front and rear wheel?

Thank you.

I came up with 6" (measuring directly behind the front wheel) and 6 3/4" (measuring directly in front of the rear wheel).

2012 ISF, stock 19's on stock suspension with properly inflated tires.
