Question Can anyone check their STi ride height?

I was hoping someone could check their ride height on a stock 2004 STi and let me know what it is. How about measuring from the center of the rim straight up to the lowest piece of black trim lining the rear fender well. And on the fronts from the center of the rim straight up to the lowest point on the fender well. Or if there is a better way to measure this all out let me know. Thanks, Brian

Just out of couriousity what are you measuring with the pink springs. I'm trying to get my Ohlins dialed in and the car looks ready for a rally cross event, not the racetrack.

According to my very accurate measurements:

Rear is 13 1/8 inches from center of rim straight up to fender.
Front is 14 3/8 inches from center of rim straight up to fender.

There is a noticeable difference between the front and rear fender
gap. I also just got the springs put in on thursday, so they might
settle a bit more.

Thanks for the pink dimmensions. I have 14 3/4 in front and a whopping 15 in back. It looks like a top fueler with the big wing and all jacked up in back. You don't happen to know the spring length of the pink springs you put in, do you? I'm still looking for some stock measurements if anyone can help out. Thanks

I did not measure the springs before I put them on. Google tells me they are
front 270mm rear 308mm.

Whats it measure with the 100 lbs of stereo stuff. I'm not being that exact. Thats only the difference between a full tank of gas and empty. I'm just looking for ballpark figures. Thanks
