ride height

can any one tell me the stock height of the rear end on an ss sc model. i bought my car and the rear end is about 4-5 inches above the tire which i don't think is right. took the car to midas and am going to get charged 300 for install and the stock springs, but i just don't know the height and don't want it to be the same.

thanks...

I will take some measurements of mine tonight for you. I will give you the front gap numbers I have. I think the car is sitting level (its still in the garage for the winter and I think the pad is level).

wow, a 4 inch fender gap? that REALLY high. Sounds like the stock LS springs. I wonder if the guy who sold it to you swapped the springs for a profit. There's no way I would pay $300 to get new springs put on. I put mine on myself with a friend in about 2 hours. It's really easy.

I didn't get a chance to measure my fender gap last night. I will try to remember to do that tonight for you.
