My 05 is stock and looks lower than pics on 04s. Can anyone confirm or dispute this?

Measure your front wheel from the center of the center cap straight up to the fender well. Make sure it is on a flat level surface, such as concrete.

My car stock measured 16.125". When I first installed my A-spec suspension three months ago I measured 14.875", which is a 1.25" drop.

I just measured it again now and it's at 14.5".

I've seen some higher VIN # 04's at my dealer that are for sure lower than mine was when it was stock; I'm not sure why mine was so high. The A-spec is only supposed to drop it 1".

Everyone can take a deep breath....

The 2005 spec is exactly the same as 2004. Minimum ground clearance is 6.2".
