There was another thread about this topic that got polluted, and this may be better in the Tech Section, but there is more traffic in General right now and would be good to get input from owners.
I measured the ride height tonight in the garage. I measured this using a ruler along the width of the tire extending far enough out to the wheel well lip and a tape measure. These are not from the "shoulder" of the tire, which obviously curves down. The second measurement is from the floor to the outer edge of the wheel well lip.
Left front, just a touch under 1.75" and 27.25".
Left rear, just a touch under 2.75" and 29.25".
This is how the car sits on flat ground.
I'm tight on clearance at my driveway apron (~1") in and out and really plan to see if there is any change over the next month or so. Also note, this was with ~1/4 tank of fuel. An additional 60# may cause the car to drop slightly in the back. If anything, I would dial in ~.5" of drop in the back and leave the front as is.
