Default What is the stock height of the Z ?

OK I bought an 04 last year. I took it to my local dealer and he told me it was lowered. What is the stock hieght of the Z so I can see if it is lowered. I bought a set of Progress springs for an old car of mine and it said to measure from the center of the rim to the fender well . Is this how it's done ? Thanks

if that picture is of your car, it's lowered.

just go look at some stock pictures. there's a couple inches of space between the fender and top of the tire

It should be 683mm with 225/45R18 tires in the front, 706mm in the rear with 245/45R18 tires in the rear.

There are several other ways to measure the height of a 350Z. One is overall height. Another is ground clearance. Both are common numbers found in 350Z specifications.

Well I just measured my front and it is 15 inches which is 308.99 mm so that can't be right. and that is measuring the way that is shown here.

If you're measuring for height don't forget the tread on your tires will affect the outcome.

From the original picture (that I read wrong the first time), the OP was looking for the ride height. Not the overall height.

Now that I read it again, I believe you are correct. I focused too much on his phrase "stock height".
