Default '02 SS ride height

I've searched for hours, and can't find the "stock" ride height for the SS. Mine sits 27 1/2 inches in the front, and 28 1/4 inches in the rear, measuring from the fender-lip down. My question pertains to the decision on going with Koni's on the lower perch/hose mod, or Hotchkis springs w/Bilsteins. I've heard that the '02 rear isolator on the SS could be thicker than others, causing the "hose mod" to actually drop the ***-end a little more than the typical 1/2-3/4". Sorry to be long-winded or appear **** about this, but...

Before I changed my suspension, my SS was 27-3/4" fronts and 27-1/2" rear.

Thanks, Carlos. I see yours was a little lower in the rear-end (27 1/2" to my 28 1/4") I wonder if my isolator might be a bit thicker/taller. I want to get enough of a drop with the "hose mod", to not need a lowering spring.

Gosh I thiiiiink I read somewhere that using the hose mod will lower your rear end by about 3/4 inches, not too bad.
