Default how far is it....

what is the measured distance from the ground to somewhere on the car that i can tell what a "stock" ride height would be. my car sits so crooked i can't tell if i want to drop it or not. how far is it from the ground to like the ground affect piece on the door for example? thanks!

Most measure from the lip of the rear wheel to the ground. 12 noon on the wheel. Stock can be as high as 28", lowered cars see 26-1/4" depending on the springs used.

Check out this thread on where to measure and comparison to others:

Interesting that only my driver's side rear is 1" higher.
(Probably for the theory that it'll level out with a driver.)

Some people on here that have measured their stock ride height have come up with higher numbers than mine.

I think my ride height is low enough. I don't want my car any lower than it is now.
