measure drop

Hey guys, I recently dropped my car on Tein Basics and put some 18's. I'll post pics of the car very soon!

What's the quickest way to measure the actual drop on my car.. it's pretty low and I wanna know a precise drop.

( I need a crash course) I say the car is about 3 inches off the actual ground..

You would've needed to measure it before you dropped it, or ask someone with stock suspension to do it.

park your car on flat ground and measure from the ground to the bottom of the fender on the front and rear. have someone with a stock setup do the same. then, subtract the numbers and thats your drop.

If you wanna precise drop you need to measure from the dead center of the rim to the lip of the fender because if they are running a 45 tire to your 35 tire you are gonna get an inaccurate reading.
