Default What's the ride height of a WRX?

I have a 06 Hawkeye WRX and have had to replace my suspension with coilovers (due to the cost of standard Subaru parts through my local garage). To work out the amount the car will be (potentially) lowered by, does anyone know the standard ride height of a Hawkeye WRX and where it is officially measured?
Thanks,
Gio

I don't know about a Hawkeye but my 05WRX with standard suspension sits 15.5 inches from the centre of the wheel hub to the middle of the wheel arch directly above.
Also if you lower it more than 1.5 inches it starts to wreck the suspensions set up and you need to add new parts to make it perform correctly.

Just my 2 cents until someone that knows comes along
