Stock ride height for TL-S?

Anyone know what the stock height for the TL-S is? ... (stock shocks/springs, rims, and tires)

That is, if you measure from the center of the wheel, up to the top of the fender, what is the height in the front and rear?

Kindof like these pictures, but for a TL-S (the pics are of a CL-S):

Here you go, keep in mind that I have some heavy car stereo equipment in the rear, so you might want to adjust that number up about 1/2" or so.
Gotta love that 3" inches of wheel gap up front:wow:
Can't wait to get my TEINs put on...

Hey thanks man! I knew I should have done that before I got my car lowered but I forgot. If thats true, that means the front of my car is riding at 13.5" right now which is ~2.6" lower than yours! :wow: ... I already raised it 1/4" from what it was originally too!!!

I was told on another board that the front and rear run about 15.5" stock (which would sound about right for the rear but not the front)

I'm trying to determine if I should raise it up some more now heh...

Looking at the coilover, my fronts were nearly at the bottom when it started with a 13.25" ride. It probably could have gone about 13" flat ... I could have raised it probably AT LEAST to stock (15.5") ... maybe a little bit more.

I've posted this question before, never really got an answer. One of these days I'll have to go to a dealer and measure one on the lot.
