Default Stock Ride Height

Hey guys
Does anyone know what the stock ride height is for the SC? I'm looking for a measurement from chassis to ground or jacking point to ground, or bumper to ground, or fender to ground ..etc.

I assume you mean on stock size tires as well? I have my 96 auto on the stock wheels with stock springs and Tokico shocks so I can measure it. I'll try to get that when I get home this evening if it isn't too late.

@RXRodger
Thanks brother, that would be awesome.
Any measurement from the ground to a good reference point. e.g. cross member, control arm ball joint, suspension pickup, jacking point...etc. And if you're really feeling charitable, i would like the rear as well

The reason I'm asking for it is to assess the control arms geometry/angles from factory.

PS: Sa w your thread on GRM

Sorry, I ended up working late yesterday and forgot by the time I got home. I'll try harder to remember today. Probably the lower control arm pivot point at the subframe at the front and rear. Seems like the easiest and most repeatable place to measure from.

No worries.
I agree, the pivots are great for this.

I measure 4-1/2" from the floor to the bottom of the cross member that the rear of the lower front control arm mounts to (where you would adjust caster). I measure 7-1/4" from the floor to the point where the rear lower control arm bolts to the rear subframe. I had intended to measure to the center of the eccentric but the edge of the subframe or cross member was easier to measure to. I have 235/50-16 tires on the stock wheels that came on a 96. Hope that helps.
