Default Low ride height

Recently had fitted Eibachs all round by powerstation, and wondered how much lower the car is now.

can any 03sti owners advise what the standard ride height road to wheel arch measures?

i would add the current eibach ride height to this`post - but its pitch black outside and blowing a force 10 storm.

I'm undecided whether to go for Eibach springs or a coilover kit. I don't suppose you have any pics of yours now it's been lowered do you...
Seeing the new ride height would certaintly be helpful to my decision...

OK, just been out and measured it for ya...

Not the most accurate way of measuring ride height i know before i get flamed but it'll give you an idea...

From the top of the front O/S wheel to the actual wheel arch (Not the black plastic inner lining) is 150mm

As above but on the rear O/S wheel is 135mm..

Hope this helps...

Now get yer pics up ;-)
