Surprised many were not aware of that.

I just took a measurement from floor to skirt, and it is exactly 8" in front of the back wheel, and the same 8" behind the front wheel. Exactly as expected. And my suspension is virtually stock: OEM springs, Tokico Blues, 17" SE rims with OEM-sized tires.

I'm calling BS on your "known fact", nismopc.
