are we talking the distance from the road to the bottom of the chassis or the gap of the wheel in the wheel arches (to allow for snow chains ) ?
When the two are comined the newage does look to be higher off the ground than the classic. Supprised its only 5 mm though, it does look a bit more !

They are JDM Impreza ground clearances; Classic 2000 and New Age 2001.
