Question What is the stock ride height for the z?

Could someone please measure the ride height of your stock z.

Just measure from the ground up through the center of the front and rear wheels to the bottom of the fender lip and post the measurements. I know it won't be to exact but unless someone knows a better way it will do.

I bought my z used from a nissan dealer and it's probably stock height but to me it looks like it may be slightly lowered. Even after adding the 19's which can sometimes make cars look like their a 4x4.

Thanks in advance!!!

I'm pretty sure the stock ground clearance is 4.7".

I also would like to know what is the stock ride height front and back? measuring from the fender to the ground. My mechanic installed my HKS RS coilover yesterday w/o mesuring the stock ride height, now I may need to raise the front by .25 inches and I am not sure if I should do the same for the rear. please help!

Thanks
