I measured my 05 coupe on sport tuned suspension and original struts/springs and it's like 26 7/8 front and 27 3/4 rear. Sound normal? I ask cause it looks lowered to me

According to FSM for '05, should be under under 28" rear and a tad over 27" in front. I'd say that sounds like factory ride height in your case.

Thank you so much. Now I can put on my Swift springs with confidence.

So the wheel arch heights are all lining up so it doesn't appear that the car is lowered. Brought the car to the shop and now front cambers are 1.0 and 1.6 and rears were 1.8 and 2.0. Found that drivers side front wheel bearing was bad so I replaced it and now the grinding noise is gone. Something still doesn't add up since the rear cambers are way off. Car is 2004 with the 18 inch wheels. Any thoughts?

This was the 2nd place I went to and the numbers are similar to the 1st shop I used.

It's possible the previous owner banged the back end on a curb or something and damaged some parts. Have a shop thoroughly inspect the rear end to see if they can find anything weird.
