Need a measurement - please help!

I'm hoping someone can do me a favor and measure the distance between the ground and the top of the passenger's seat (not the back, but part of the seat you actually sit on, haha).

We're in the process of selling my wife's TSX, with the goal of buying an RDX. There aren't any currently available in our area, which is why I can't just measure this myself (and it isn't exactly a readily available spec). The reason I need this info is because we have a disabled family member and it's a difficult process to get her in and out of vehicles with a higher seat.

Thanks in advance!

Oh, and in case it's different by year, we're probably looking at an earlier first generation (i.e., 2007-2009).

Ground to highest point of front passenger seat cushion (side bolster) is 28 inches.
Ground to door sill is 19 inches.
Ground to highest point of rear seat cushion is 30 inches.
The measurements may be off by half an inch.
This is on a 2007 with all factory specs. Hope this helps.

Ground to highest point of front passenger seat cushion (side bolster) is 26.5 inches.
Ground to door sill is 17.5 inches (to the top of the plastic trim where your feet have to clear, not where the Acura logo is).
Ground to highest point of rear seat cushion is 28.5 inches.

This is on a 2008 tech with Eibach springs and everything else is OEM (no running boards). My 73 year old 5' 4" Mom has a hard time getting in/out my TSX with 2 bad knees and back (plus an A-spec suspension). She has a much easier time getting in/out of the RDX because the extra ground clearance and the more up right sitting position.
