About 6" at the CAT. Not a whole lot more everywhere else!
These cars are so freakin low stock... i can't hardly crawl under the front at all, and I'm not a real big guy. 5'11 155 lbs... you'd think my skinny butt could fit under the car but no. Just as another reference, buddy of mine has a 96 mustang thats lowered 2" and has a "stalker" front clip (added after he hit a deer, might as well upgrade instead of just replace, it was cheaper anyway) and his car and mine sit the same height at the rocker panels almost exactly. Theres also only about an inch or so of room when I goto a place with a "pit" that you drive your car over instead of having a lift. If I lowered the car i wouldn't clear the rails around the edges!

I'd say about 4-6 inches, lowest point is where my I-pipe runs. Right now I can barely get the car on ramps without using a ladder. I do have just enough clearance to slide a hydraulic jack underneath when I need to raise it. Getting the SFC's installed was great since now I can use any point along the SFC to lift the car.

I don't know how much I have yet since my system in laying on the ground, but I have to get someone to lift on the fender to get a low profile jack under the highest part. There is no way it's more than 4" at the frame. That's with new springs, but I think the 4 Bolt truck block I have is a little more than they were designed for.
