Can anyone tell me the measurement from the ground to the top of the wheel arch, front and rear, on stock suspension?

I just picked up a ZHP with BC Racing coilovers and I am curious what the actual drop is.

Thanks!

This will vary depending on rim and tire size.

You can measure it this way (Fender to bottom edge of rim) and it will eliminate tire size. If you are comparing different rim sizes, you can subtract half of the difference between the rim sizes.

Yea, I can make adjustments if whoever takes the measurements lets me know their tire/wheel combo.

Just getting an idea of how much the car is lowered.

Official measurements are on TIS somwhere... they assume you have the sandbags installed in the car

IIRC it's around 25"

Thanks for the link!

I didn't give you a link as I couldn't find it. I did search for one, for about 20 minutes, to no avail, then became busy.

We're you able to find one?

My ZHP was 25 1/2" in the front and 26" in the rear. This is with 235/40/18's up front and 245/40/18's in the rear.

That 40 sidewall is going to throw it off a tad.
