Ride height w/lowering springs

Could I possibly get some ride height measurements on 89 IROCS(or close 87-90) w/stock(or stock sized) wheels and stock sized tires(or close, 245/50/16 or 255/50/16 will be ok) at the front and rear wheels, through the center of the tire to the top of the wheel well on cars with new but settled (1-2 years installed? i quess) drop springs, I want to try to see how far my stock springs have sagged and to see if any drop springs will place it near where it is now


Thanks all

Dave

Don't know if it will help, but I have an '86 SC with original springs. Standard 15" wheels. I'm currently at about 27" rear, 26.5" front. They are vary by about .25 to .50 from right to left.

I'd like to get Eibach pro-kit, but I don't want to lower it very much. Do you think that 17 year old original springs would be the same drop as new Eibach Prokits?

I put a prokit on my 83TA which had the original springs and the prokit raised the car slightly
