13yr old springs, how much drop from stock?

My 13yr old springs in the RS with 145k...how much of a drop do you think the car has seen since it was new?

My reason for asking--I'm going to get new springs/shocks next year and want to know if I can buy a Pro-Kit (~1" drop) but not lose any ground clearance compared to what I'm at now. Thanks

Around half an inch.

Give or take half an inch

Front I have no clue.

I replaced the 13 yo 149k mile springs in my 91 Z a couple months ago with stockers from Moog. The difference was definately more than 1/2" but it's less than an inch now that it's "settled"
