Default alignment ride height measurements

Hello,

Anyone have their ride height measured when they had a wheel alignment?

Mine for a sport model which I shot for 1 cm front lower and 2cm lower in rear. Not absolutely sure that is what I finally got set.

front=708

rear= 711

Anyoneknow what stock is supposed to be?

Where on the car did you / they take the measurement? What did you use to lower your car? I am not aware of any springs that would drop a car to those specifications, and I can't imagine purchasing a set of coilovers and only making a minor adjustment like that. I have also never heard of an alignment being able to adjust ride height on these cars.

As for stock w/ sport package, the car sits about 2in (5cm) above the tires, front and rear.

But that's going to change with type of tyres and I guess even inflation. Best way would be to measure from center of wheel to wheel arch. Old springs start sagging and could drop the car a little I guess.
