87 Height off the floor?
Hey Guys need some help. Searched the manuals couldn't find any help. I think my STOCK 87 is to low.I destroy spoilers(air dams,whatever)
Here's what I need:
Somebody to measure the length from the center of the front wheel fender to the floor. I've got 26". From under the front license plate, from the bottom of the body to the floor is 9 1/4". From the front of the front wheel well( under the side turn signals) and at the bottom of the front wheel well is 8 5/16" If you might know where in the shop manual I can find it pls let me know. Or if anybody has an 87 and is willing to take some measurements I'd really apprieciate it.
Thanks
Billy

My 87 service manual shows this ride height information for "curb weight" (everything is in millimeters):
FRONT: from 652mm back from the centerline of the front spindle, the height at the bottom edge of the rocker panel to ground is 190.3mm for the standard suspension and 193.5mm for the Z51/Z52.
REAR: From 486mm in front of the rear axle centerline, the height from the edge of the rocker to ground is 194.6mm for FE1 and 193.6 for the optional suspension.
The height measurements are averaged after raising the car 38mm three times and letting it settle followed by pushing down 38mm and letting it settle. For curb weight, the car should have full coolant and a full tank of gas and the tire pressure set to what is on the door placard.

That should be from the rocker panel to the ground, or from the bottom of the front bumper to the ground.
