I've looked through the service manual as well as these forums but I cannot find the specification of the stock ride height. Does anybody know what it is or where I can find it?

 

That is a good question. I certainly dont know. If not found in the service manual, its probably because the stock springs will get you there, so a spec was not required to be noted IMO

Are you on coil overs & trying to re-set your ride height back to a stock appearing height?

 

I'm trying to figure our what's on my car. It looks all stock under there to me. A fellow stopped me at a light tonight who also has an Evo. We stopped and chatted a bit. He commented that it looked lower.

 

Charles,

If thats your ride in your gallery, it looks great. Its an RS !!!!

It does look like its on lowering springs for sure IMO.

Post some pics on our thread when you can.

Could someone with a stock suspension and stock sized tires please measure from the ground to top of the wheel well arch?

 

Mine measures 25-1/2" to 25-3/4" and I'm on 245/45-17's.

 

The car dimensions section of the Service Manual states that the overall height of the car, and it looks like the highest point on the vehicle is at the rear roof, is 57.1 inches. And, no, this doesn't include a VG or radio antenna.

 

Factory Bilstein suspension, 235/45/17 Hankook Evos: 26.5" front, 26" rear.

 

hmmmm.... find a stock on and then park next to it. hah

 

Upon further inspection...... Actually I put the car on jack stand and gave it good visual inspection and cleaning. The springs are silver. I'm gonna assume those are not stock. Thanks for measuring for me FJF.

 

OEM = black

 

Sorta like this:

 

I met this fellow the other day and his car on a stock suspension and on 235/45-17's also measures 26.5 up front and 26 in the back.

 

Just to finish up here, I found that I had Hotchkis springs on my car.
