I have a 1997 SE, and I would like to know the stock height when measured from the center of the wheel to the wheel well.

I installed some new springs, but I did not think to measure the ride height before I did it. Now I am wondering how far from stock my car's suspension has become.

Any help would be great.

Thank you.

Giving myself a bump because I posted this last night. I hope that out of some fresh eyes I can get an answer.

what kind of springs?
just go measure another 5 speed, then you'll have an idea!

SE springs, 16" wheels. I don't know anyone around me with a stock height maxima. That's why I'm asking. Can somebody measure the length from the ground to the center of the fender

I'll take a guess that it's less then half inch.

Here's my drop from GXE springs to H&R w/15in wheels-

yea i imagine depending on age of shocks, ground levelness, etc it may vary. I live just outside of millville in Cedarville, but im bout 5min from illville n bridgeton and 10min from vineland.

Well 5spd do sit a bit lower.

I thought they sat lower because of the heavier tranny

Altitude also makes a very small difference.

the 5spd is lighter than the auto. i believe the 5spd springs are slightly shorter, which is why they lower an automatic car.

theres too many variables here to be extremely accurate, the age of the suspension and how worn out it is is a huge factor though...

yea the best you will get is estimates. the important thing is that it looks good and your happy with it.
