There's many different ways to measure height but I did mine from the ground through the center of wheel but I got 24.75" in the front and 25.25" in the rear.

Rookie mistake was not measuring what I was at stock, but whatever. I'll run it as low as I can as long as it doesn't create issues with with tires or bottoming out the chassis.

If anyone has other ideas regarding ride height I'm all ears. Not looking for a magic number, just the ideas behind selecting the right height. I used to have an ep3 civic si and even if you had alright clearance, there was an issue with messing up the roll centers. My car isnt nearly that low at the moment but just wondering if there was anything similar on the z.

Edit:
Link to an old thread discussing just that
What size tires are you on? Stock tire diameter and stock springs, car is 28 inch to the fender lip.

I try not to lower too much, so my car is 27 inch with stock wheels. Probably another inch lower on 275/35/18
