Ground Clearance

Does anybody know the exact ground clearance (in inches) with the OEM body kit and dropped with the Eibach Pro-Kit?

I'm gonna take a guess here.

Stock ground clearance = 5.8 inches
Body kit reduces clearance by about 1 inch.
Drop of Eibach Pro-Kit is about 1.3 inch.

5.8-1-1.3 = 3.5 inches.

But that's only a guess. The body kit may even reduce it less than an inch. I'd say it's somewhere between 3.5-4.0 inches ride height.

I have moved the car 3x in the parking garage and these were the lowest measurements. I agree, they still appear somewhat high too.

Middle Front - 4.2"
Side Front - 4.75"

Sides - 4.50 - 4.75"

Back Middle - 8.25"
Bottom of Comptech Exhaust Tip - 6.25"
Back Sides - 6.5"

I have yet to have a clearance problem over speed bumps and I have a fairly steep driveway. I have a feeling the parking garage is very uneven. I will try and get some more measurements later for comparison.

I found out the painful way lastnight.

Doesn't matter on what the clearance is, you will eventually scrap the bottom of your car.

I have the OEM body kit ( car is not lowered) and lastnight I drove up a driveway and heard a painfull scapping noise. Scratched my lower front lip pretty bad.
Ohh wells, bound to happen sooner of later.

So be prepared for it
