Need measurement
Can someone provide the following measurement that has a stock suspension? It's just the length from the center of the wheel vertically up until the apex of the fender. I never took this measurement before I lowered my car so I don't technically know how low I am (I'm not that low). Again this must be from a stock suspension and ideally measured on each of the four wheels
thanks in advance!

when i raised my car last month, i tried to search a little. i've found the aspec had a measurement from the ground to the apex of 26 inches for the rear. and what I raised my car too
for the front, I eyeballed and settled with a tight two finger gap. the rear is a tight 3 finger gap...but we all have different sized fingers...lol

^ yea I'm looking for the hub center to fender measurement because that is more accurate than ground to fender. Ground to fender changes based on wheel size and tire size whereas hub to fender is a direct correlation to ride height without an influence from the tires or wheels (just suspension)
plus what if i have small fingers lol it would make me seem more lowered than I am!! Lol

^Sorry, NVM those pics. The rear had a box of coilovers in it.
How accurate are you looking to get this info? If its really just for reference to see how much you lowered it, a typical measurement may work.
I would assume accuracy of (+/-) 1", though. Hub to arch is difficult because centre points are hard to see...and depending on fuel level and junk in the trunk...it will vary.
17 gallons of gas weighs ~104LB.
And you'd want to do this on a level surface.
An empty car with a full tank on an alignment rack would be a good "standard" to use, if someone can swing that.
Sorry if I'm being too ANALytical.
