Yeah I know but I wanted to get real world numbers.
I just measured my base Z with Nismo wheels. 27 3/16" front 28 3/4" rear

Thanks!
Interesting. This coincides with someone mentioning that when they installed Nismo S-Tune springs that the front was higher...

Well I can confirm the front is now half an inch higher than stock! Rear is the same. WTF Can't wait to get some springs

Did you just swap out the springs, or the struts as well?
I don't see a dramatic change in height in front or rear, but it handles way better.

Did you notice it settle after the install? I doubt it will settle. I am thinking of just getting some TEIN springs for the S-Tune struts.

Now the ones I picked up had a few 1000 miles on them, so I guess they had already "settled" once, and after having the car loaded on them for a few days, went from "ugh" to "ah". As to the ride height, I took a piss-poor measurement using the number of fingers I could fit between the top of the tire and the fender, and in both front and rear, I lost about a finger's width (with a bit more in the rear I think), so that seems about right to me. I'll get out there with a tape measure and get a proper measurement later. Where did you go -- ground to fender arch? EDIT: I got 28" exactly in the front and 27.75" in the rear. Of course, it's dark and raining so I could be a bit off... Are the Nismo wheels and tire combo a slightly different height maybe?

ground to top of wheel well arch. I am getting about 28" on the front and rears. I was 27.5" on my stock setup front and 28 rears.
I like the better handling, but I also do not like it being higher in the front. I hope it settles some! I want to get the RS*R springs on. Or maybe Swift.

So in theory, no change in the front and slightly lower in the rear.

Oh, minor update and correction with better measurements (during the day and not raining).
Spt Pkg with 19' wheels and Nismo springs/struts = Front: 27.875" Rear: 27.750" That is all
