Could you please measure the distance between the ground and the wheel well for front and rear? Please measure at the center of each wheel.

I am trying to figure out how much of a drop I currently have.

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

 

Unfortunately, I can't help you right now but if someone has access to the ESM, it's in there. I think in the suspension section, it has a table for front and rear wheel well heights, listed by what wheel you have (15", 16", 17").

 

2000 SE Manual stock suspension (stock tires, stock rims)... that's me. i'll measure tonight, and post if noone else beats me to it - or if i'm bored at work, i'll take a walk out to the car.

 

I don't know if this is what you need, but I measured the distance from the top of the wheel arch of the fender to the floor and it came to 27.5" for front and 27" for rear. The car has a full tank of gas if that makes a difference.

 

all work and no play makes dave a dull boy...

car was on lumpy asphalt and not level, so the best i could measure was:
front 27.75" (stock tires, rims, 33PSI)
rear 27.25" (stock tires, rims, 31PSI)

hope that helps.

 

That helps A LOT! Thanks a million!

 

The consensus seems to be that there is a .5 inch difference between the front and the rear. That is what I was looking for...

 

From the good book....

Wheel arch height from ground (Front/Rear) in inches

Models with 225/50R17 tire: 27.80/27.32
Models with 215/55R16 tire: 27.48/26.89
Models with 205/65R15 tire: 27.56/27.17

Fuel, radiator coolant and engine oil full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats in designated positions.

 

Tire pressure appears to affect this slightly. I measured 27-3/4" front and just under 27" rear with 35-ish front and 29-ish rear cold pressures. That's with about 3/4 tank of gas and maybe 15 lbs of miscellaneous stuff in the trunk. I'm guessing that tire wear is about 1/8".
