Need help with Stock height measurement
 
Can someone do me a favor?

I need to know how high a stock FR-S is from the fender to the ground in the front and rear. I forgot to measure mine before installing coilovers!

Anyone have a tape measurer?? I'll send you a free internet cookie for these measurements.

Give me 5 mins. BRB

EDIT---


Quick tape measure, mostly level ground just over 1/4 tank of gas left.

Front 665MM / 26.2"
Rear 675MM / 26.6"

the best way to measure is from the center of the hub, not the ground

I know that, I had a miata too :p. but people tend to get more varience with that because of the angle that they look at it. With a stock car it should be uniform (as long as the ground is flat) since we all have the same tires/suspension.

This. More consistent and works across different wheel sizes.

You have oversized tires on your car (215/50/17), I was looking for a measurement on a stock car :)

Oooh, good point. Oops, sorry.
