This is with about 100lbs of stereo eq.
My coilovers are coming soon and would like to know everyone's front and rear ground to fender heights. and pics if possible.
I'm thinking 3/4in to 1.0in lower front and rear
Thanks! please list your height settings.

on the 16in sports, i didn't bother to remove the huge center caps. but if you roughly do it, it should be half of my measurements. I'm running 40lbs in the front 38lbs in the rear for tire pressure.
rolling diameter shouldn't be off more than 2-4 % for most wheel setups. so the actually height diff is very small. I'm using a tape measure too (hardly accurate)
what are you measurements? either from center of wheel to fender or ground to fender.

but I loved the 1/2" difference front to back. It gave the car a sinister forward rake.
I had Koni coilovers too set at 26-1/2" front and back. I liked the height of the rear, but wanted the front about 1/2" lower.
I would set them at 25-1/2" to 26" front and 26" to 26-1/2" rear, but I'm more conservative than most.
Here are pictures of both setups:
25" FRONT & 25-1/2" REAR: Neuspeed Sport w/ Bilstein HD Shocks
