People with OEM suspension, please measure your height.

I lowered my car and forgot to measure the stock height and thus I have no clue how much I lowered it ( I'm on H&R coilovers ).

FWIW: My car measured 25.75 all around from the ground to the center of the wheel well. When measured from the hub to the center of the wheel well it came out to 13.5. I'm on oem 18's with 225/45 in front and 245/40 in rear.

Why not read your FSM where fender heights are listed?
Obviously you don't understand that a hundred measurements by hundred people will each be different.

Also each set of springs will have minute differences even a 3% manufacturing tolerance will result in a 0.25" variation after mounted and loaded.

If I wanted to be exact I have measured it with a caliper and in micrometers...I just wanted a general idea.

I didn't know the FSM had these numbers so I'll check that out though.

EDIT: Just checked and it says 27.32 for the front and 27.95 for the rear. So I guess I lowered my front aprox. 1.6" and the rear by about 2.2". Thanks.
