Stock ride height
Hey everyone, i just bought some new springs and i'm hoping they will lower my car, i just wanted to know what the stock ride height of my car is. I know that that the different models vary in height such as with the iroc and/or Z28 being .5 inches lower and whatnot. But anyways i have a 89 RS Camaro and it still has the original springs, those came under the FE1 soft ride suspension system RPO. So i was just wondering if anyone could clue me in as to what my stock ride height is. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

Well hell since no one seems to know i just measured now and from the front spoiler it was 7". From the bottom of the left side i believe was 6". So i am hoping to get a one inch drop from these springs.

where did you take that measurment from? I can see the springs lowered in about half an inch in the front. The measurement from the middle of the front spoiler are just below 9 in. right behind the left front tire its about 6.5". When i put the springs on there was about a three inch fender gap. I have had them on a couple days and it looks like the front springs are starting to break in a litte. Now the fender gap is a little less than 2.5. I'm hoping to see 3/4-1" drop once the springs settle in nicely. Now my car is the same height as a Z28 about.
